Yesterday a coworker brought in an article from the October 30, 2008 Arizona Republic's golf section. Was all about Kierland Golf Club's new deal called a Scottish Golf Experience.
Apparently the golf club will rent you kilts to play golf in. Some other stuff like bagpipes and booze after and set ups for weddings. But pretty cool that where some golf clubs are banning kilts, here's one that rents them and has a whole marketing program centered on kilts.
Article had a good pic of three kilted guys on a green with the piper.
I googled "Scottish Golf Experience" and Kierland and got a bunch of hits.
Here's a clip from the club's newsletter.
“Scottish Pipes at Sunset Series”
The “Scottish Pipes at Sunset Series” is the original tribute to the Scottish immigrants where every
evening guests and families are encouraged to gather around the fire pit at the Resort’s
Dreamweaver’s Canyon to enjoy the haunting sounds of the Scottish Bagpipes with Michael
McClanathan, a bagpiper with 40 years of experience.
McClanathan has acquired numerous medals and trophies as a result of his success in various
competitions. He has performed before such dignitaries as the Lord Mayor of London and President
George Bush, and for the opening day ceremonies of a variety of state legislatures. The Resort is
well known for the “Bagpipes at Sunset” nightly performances and has been a mainstay at the Resort
for several years.
“Scottish Golf Experience”
The presence of the bagpiper also serves to bring in the golfers after a great game of golf at the
Kierland Golf Club, where golfers can try the “Scottish Golf Experience.” Kierland Golf Club
offers Scottish kilt rentals for those golfers who would like to try golf, the “Scottish way.” Unique
Johnnie Walker beverage carts, serving Johnnie Walker Blue, Johnnie Walker Gold and Johnnie
Walker Green, help golfers toast to the game of golf with the perfect Scotch. Also unique to
Kierland Golf Course and the Scottish influences are the Johnnie Walker Flags that represent the
different labels of the Johnnie Walker Scotch Line.
