Scotch Whisky Society launches golf package - 2nd November, 2012

GOLF and whisky has long been a winning combination - and now a new partnership between two leading organisations in both of these sectors looks set to take that partnership to new heights.

The Scotch Malt Whisky Society and Golf East Lothian have joined forces to create an exciting new
‘19th Hole’ experience.

Available at both of the society’s private members rooms in Edinburgh and Leith, groups of six or more can now indulge in a golf-themed private whisky tasting and a three-course dinner following a day on the fairways.

Between courses, guests will even be able to get in some competitive practice courtesy of the new 'Puttup' indoor putting game, with the chance to win a rare bottle of society single cask, single malt whisky up for grabs.

This private event package can also be enhanced to suit your requirements with a selection of golfing entertainment.

The society has also developed a five-star golf day at the renowned Archerfield Links in association with TPEGS (Tour Pro Experience Golf Schools).

The SMWS Golf Day is the perfect choice for friends, colleagues or clients and would fit seamlessly into any golfing break in Scotland. The day includes bespoke tuition and a game on either the Fidra or Dirleton courses at Archerfield Links, along with refreshments, lunch and society whisky.

Announcing the new whisky and golf partnership, Mark van der Vijver from The Scotch Malt Whisky Society said: “We have worked closely with leading golf partners to develop an exclusive and entertaining experience and we are confident every detail will enhance the guests’ golf experience in Scotland.”
