Dear Friend,

I trust you are having an enjoyable Saturday.

Firstly I’m sending you a “Happy Burns Night” – a celebration of the life of the great Scottish Poet Robert Burns.

Secondly I have an idea, but would really appreciate your feedback.

You see I’m passionate about St Andrews and I wondered if you would like to see more of the old grey town in terms of video clips. In fact I was thinking of a regular TV show where I get to share this magical place with you.

The internet now allows anyone with a camcorder, even mobile phone, to share interesting and fun footage with everyone around the world. It therefore seems an amazing opportunity to have a wee dram, flip on the camera and open up the world of St Andrews and other great golfing towns and courses to you. How about I shoot up to Royal Dornoch and give you a feel for this hidden gem?

I currently have no script, just loads of ideas – but in a way they are worthless if I don’t provide entertaining video that you want to see.

Therefore if the idea of watching a fun online video show based on St Andrews and the world of Scottish golf appeals please take a minute to send a comment below. I would also love to hear your stories about St Andrews and particulary the type of things you would like to see on video.

Many may be travelling here for a golf holiday this year and therefore I can easily offer my recommendations on hotels, restaurants and pubs!

How long should the show be? Maybe 3 – 10 mins every day or 15 – 30 mins every week. Only with your ideas can I produce a format that brings the Home of Golf to your desktop!

I look forward to reading your comments.

Finally today marks the 250th anniversary of Robert Burns’ birth and the official start of the Scottish Homecoming – an events programme celebrating Scotland’s great contributions to the world. Check out the video below for a flavour of the event – I just find it amusing to watch Sam Torrance sing at 13 seconds in!

Have a great weekend and if are indoors Sunday night, why not log on to this virtual whisky tasting as Andrew Dubber and Clutch Daisy taste the Isle of Jura 10 year old, the Aberlour 10 year old and the Laphroaig 10.

Happy Burns Night

Cheers

Andy
