A 1926 message in a bottle

Categories

Workers doing renovations on a Scottish golf course made a surprising discovery -- a 95-year-old message in a bottle buried in a bunker. (Corey...the link to Sting's song please:)

 

The Golf House Club in Elie built in May 1875 and across the Blackness Bay from Edinburgh, said workers were making improvements to the fairway bunkers on the ninth hole recently when they found a bottle buried in one of the hazards.

 

The workers opened the bottle and found a message written on the back of a Craven cigarette package (Craven is still sold today). The message was dated Nov. 18, 1926.

 

There are rumors around what was written. But I heard it was, "If you find this, you need to take golf lessons"

 

Gavin Cook, the golf club's secretary, said officials looked into records and determined the three men who signed the note were employees at the facility in the 1920s.

 

Cook said the workers plan to bury their own message in a bottle in the same spot once the work is completed. I wonder what they will write...

So interesting. Why do you think they wouldn't release the whole message?
