Feretting Around.

I was asked to look out some old whisky promotions I had set up many years ago.

I had a good laugh when I came across this one from 1990.

Langs Whisky, had a monthly competition for golfers called "The Golden Ferret Awards", which needed a publicity boost. A golden ferret, is a term in golf when you chip out of a bunker and hole the ball. If you did this, you could claim a fabulous bottle of Glengoyne Whisky. ( A favourite of mine)

I decided to use a live ferret and what a hoot we had. The ensuing publicity was phenomenal.

I seem to remember the ferret was called Sid, in memory of the late great Sid Vicious.


You can see why by the newspaper cutting, go Sid!
