Ayrshire welcomes home the Claret Jug at Brunston Castle Golf Course
Murdoch
Ayrshire, Scotland, 5 July 2009--The famous Claret Jug, presented
annually since 1873 to the winner of the British Open Golf
Championship, was on show this week at Brunston Castle Golf Club,
before being taken on the 5 mile journey to Turnberry for this year’s
tournament which takes place 16-19 July.
South Ayrshire Council leader Hugh Hunter, deputy leader Margaret
Toner, deputy Provost Mary Kilpatrick and chief executive David
Anderson attended an evening reception to mark the occasion, hosted by
the directors of Brunston Castle Golf Club represented by general
manager Cheryl Steven.
Also in attendance were directors and members of the Elite Ayrshire
Business Circle.
The first Open Championship was played in 1860 at Prestwick, and
Prestwick hosted each of the first 11 British Opens.
Welcoming the Claret Jug back to South Ayrshire, Councillor Toner
said: “The Open Championship, that will take place at Turnberry this
year, ranks as one of the world’s premier annual sporting events. The
first Open Championship was played over three rounds of Prestwick’s 12
hole course on 17 October 1860. Since then Turnberry and Royal Troon,
located within South Ayrshire, have hosted the event on many occasions
and brought pleasure to locals, visitors and those people around the
globe who have watched it on television.”
Elite Ayrshire Business Circle executive chairman and Frazer Coogans
Solicitors senior partner Norman Geddes added: “It is a marvellous
tonic for Ayrshire businesses to have the Open Championship return to
Turnberry. I hope that many of the visitors during the Open will also
take a look at Brunston Castle, a challenging and most scenic parkland
course, situated only fifteen minutes drive from Turnberry.”
Brunston Castle Golf Club General Manager Cheryl Steven concluded: “It
has been a real thrill for all of us at Brunston Castle to welcome the
Claret Jug home to Ayrshire. It is very humbling when we think of the
rich history and the roll-call of great Champions who have held this
trophy aloft.”
