Kirk Session: an ecclesiastical court in Scotland, composed of the minister and elders of a parish.
Edinburgh Burgh records of 1593 bemoan the fact that Edinburgh churchgoers were playing golf in Leith instead of going to church. On 16th February 1610, South Leith Kirk Session proposed a fine of 20 shillings (one pound) to be paid ‘to the poor’ by anyone found playing golf (or bowls or archery) between sunrise and sunset on Sunday. Apart from the fine, they would also have to confess their sins in church. This persecution continued until 1724, which year marks the last official Kirk prosecution in Scotland for Sunday golfing, when the Leith innkeeper John Dickson was accused of giving victuals to Sabbath golfers.
The Double-Headed Eagle of Lagash is used as an emblem by the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry. There are many meanings attached to this symbol, The date of its introduction into Freemasonry is not clear but it may have been first used in France to symbolize the Councils of the East and West. Another theory is that it was adapted from the arms of the Austrian state, to gain the favor of the ruling family.

We’ve asked the question? Is your golf course too dangerous? Well look no further…
The battery operated, two million rupee ($45,000) Anti-Terrorist Assault Cart (Atac) is said to resemble a bullet-proof golf buggy with firing ports. It weighs just under half a tonne, has bullet-proof windows and contains numerous firing ports. Furthermore it is able to negotiate corridors and lifts.
Metaltech says the squat and heavily armoured vehicle can also withstand grenade blasts and last for six hours on a single charge – with a top speed of 25km/h (15mph).
The average golf bag is just a long bucket with 6 sections to which you just throw your clubs in because, shit, golf is a fast paced sport and you need to hurry up and get to the next shot. The unbalance of the design coupled with the shoulder straps make kitting up and removing the bag an ungraceful and fatiguing movement. Even a good golfer does this movement almost 160 times during a round (and you think swinging your club makes you tired).To alleviate some of this strain on your game, you either rent or purchase a pull cart to “lug” your clubs around or better yet, you rent an electric mini car to zip around the grass fields. The status quo golf bag is so poorly designed that a sub industry was created just to solve the problem of damaged club heads. Club covers were designed to minimize damage to club heads during travel or even while just moving around the course. You now have to pony up a little more money to just solve a problem that shouldn’t need to be solved.
Then I discovered this bag. It has shocks. It has labeled club holders made from thick rubber which have great friction properties to keep your clubs from moving. It has well placed and well designed pockets that reduce the amount of “hunting” time looking for tee’s, balls or beer. Even the the open pockets for holding balls on the backside is a great solution. It has wheels built right into the bag. It even folds up to fit in the trunk of the car.
This bag even has better aesthetics than the average golf bag. If everyone keeps talking about retro fashion making a comeback in golf, why not throw a little retro styling into some of the equipment. I’m sure it’ll start happening now that we’ve mentioned it. We know we’re being watched by small and large golf companies all the time and we’ve seen our ideas, our approach and designs “borrowed”.
