Hamish Bercrae from Royal Dornick
Hamish, you've played in this event. You're a past captain of Royal Dornick
Tell me about what's the allure of this event for a Royal Dornick member
Well, we all know the history of how it originated with Rowley and Ziggy
and the friendships that were cultivated through this. And to be part of the team is an absolute honor
We have the Donald Ross connections of course in this area, but to be invited to come over
here is an absolute pleasure, a joy. It means an awful lot to meet all the guys over here and the hospitality that was shown
to us is outstanding. And we try our very best to reciprocate when they come across to our side of the pond
A lot of friendships have been cultivated over the period. The first time I came over here was 2011
Personally, the COVID year and one year when I had issues with my hips, I didn't come over
But for the majority of the rest of them, I've really enjoyed it
As I said it an honour over here to represent the club And see how the other half live And I hope when the guys come across us they enjoy the same hospitality that we experience over here
You seem semi-emotional about the question. It means a lot to you. Absolutely
knowing Ziggy for all of those years and Roley who was a real good friend of his
who has passed away I think so he tears to the eye
So tell me the story of the Green Hamish Tats, what's that about
Well that's to do with Robbie Zalsnett I've played with them a few times
in these matches and I've managed to beat him That's good playing
and it's always been something ridiculous like a 40 foot pat or chipping in
or something like this so Robbie of course gives me a few shots
but the Hamish bit that's what it's all about me getting lucky
at our games and managing to just hit him at the post
that's some egregious shot. One last question. You guys are in quite a hole
in terms of trying to retain the Raleigh Black putter. What's the attitude for today
Hey, Greg Peele and whip their ass. Beautiful
