With 52 players taking part in 'The Rabbie Burns Classic' it truly was a 'classic'! A mixed Texas Scramble was the format with a very tricky (well I thought so!) questions at every Tee relating to Rabbie! On completion of our round we had another sheet of questions to answer over a well deserved drink!
A full house some deep in thought!
The haggis was then paraded around the participants by our Chef Lindsay, whilst David Conran-Smith lamented it on the Bag Pipes. The Selkirk Grace was duly performed by Alan Christie.
