Unity is strength for Scottish golf

As Robert Burns might have said to the object of his desires as he wearily shuffled off to jot down his weekly haverings on golf: "Ae fond kiss and then we sever, the Tuesday column?, alas, forever." Before this correspondent settled down with the quill and ink pot for the latest commitment of ponderings to print - a pitiful, prolonged process of warring sighs, groans and occasional heart-wrung tears - there were a few drams knocked back and a couple of robust snorts taken from the snuff horn at the Paisley Burns Club, a redoubtable institution that was constituted back in 1805, the same year, funnily enough, as St Mirren fitba' team recorded their last home victory.....or so it feels like.
