It was a Calling of the Clan and a Wearing of the Plaid as members of the Jacksonville Branch gathered at The Players Championship Clubhouse in Ponte Vedra, also known as the 19th hole, for a memorable Scottish dinner. As we learned from our dinner chairs, the food in Scotland has changed very little over time, relying on salmon and other fish, venison, beef and root vegetables Chef Cousson did a remarkable job of creating updated interpretations of Scottish classics. Attendees were encouraged to wear plaid.
