And so it came to pass that on the tenth day of the sixth month in the year of our Lord two thousand and five that six intrepid golfers ventured forth from their soft southern homes to the raw, untamed piece of heaven that is Gleneagles to fight it out over fairway and green for The Cullen Skink.

With sufficient balls (or so they thought), polished clubs and shiney shoes, the magnificent six faced their first challenge of the day... what to have for lunch!

So eight years of fierce competition, with eight different winners, the Cullen Skink at Gleneagles is firmly established as one of the Majors on the Waud Classic tour.
