    Congratulations on getting The Scotsman's attention. I'm not sure, though, that Royal Troon won't circle the wagons and take on a defiant and defensive attitude. The sort who would deny you kilted golf sometimes take a perverse pleasure in being portrayed as excessivley conservative...

    It appears that you managed your interaction with The Scotsman well, as they clearly adopted your view of the events, and cast Royal Troon on the defensive. Well done advocacy. Your point has been made, heard and accepted in Scotland. You should feel no small amount of satisfaction in your success, and your long suffering wife should be reassured that having had some satisfaction, you will no longer need to pursue the matter. May you both have peace at last!

Hard on the piper; hard on them all; hard on the world." Butcher's Broom, by Neil Gunn, 1994 Walker & Co, NY, p. 397-8.

    I do and she is, and she thanks you for your recognition of her part in this endeavor. And, for the most part, we do, at last.

    Even better coverage, Jeff – except that I don’t quite get the relevance of the Sun’s final paragraph.
