2014 Open Golf Champion, Rory McIlroy acknowledged the role the Scotch Egg played in delivering his latest triumph in the world of hitting little balls with a stick.
Rory throws his Scotch Egg into the crowd in celebration
“Playing with Scotch Eggs allows me to have more control over my short game and when I am feeling peckish I can nibble on these tasty savoury snacks,” he may have said.
Man and Scotch Egg in perfect harmony
Young Rory, who hails from Holywood, Northern Ireland went on to say, “Me darlin’ Mammy identified a deficiency in my hip stance and got me playing with Scotch Eggs to improve things. Like it is, so it is. Like.”
But Mammy McIlroy didn’t stop there, “She would make a variety of Scotch Eggs for me to play with. Big ones, little ones, ones with indentations at the top, pimpled ones and even one that was square! As you can imagine that didn’t roll very well!”
Young Rory & the Scotch Egg of destiny
Gingerfightback’s science correspondent, Damien Semi-Jap-Stranglehold spoke to Ursula Ooh-La-La, Professor of advanced Scotch Eggery at the University of Toulouse who told him, “Mais Oui mon cherie, Je t’adore le Piat D’or – make lurve a moi by the opagne firrreside a hoh – he – hoh.”
It is not the first time that Golfers have turned to meat base products. Jack Nicklaus won the 1978 US Open playing with a pork pie boiled in vinegar.

Golfers have their own lucky charms. A US PGA commentator once revealed that “one of the reasons Arnie (Palmer) is playing so well is that before each tee shot, his wife takes out his balls and kisses them”. Apparently he denied making the statement when confronted by Arnie with a pitching wedge.
That has left a nasty tates in the mouth Ankur
“Playing with Scotch Eggs allows me to have more control over my short game…” So this is what I’m doing wrong.
Yep!
Too funny! Haven’t had a scotch egg in decades – oops that sounds old 😉
I wouldn’t rush to have one lass!
hee hee
Please explain a scotch egg. I thought I had one in MS on my walk, but it turned out to be a mistaken version of eggs cooked in cream.
A hard boiled egg wrapped in sausage meat, coated in breadcrumbs and then deep fried Andra. Eggs in cream sound disgusting!
I look forward to improving my life with a vast intake of Scotch Eggs, but in the meantime I am content to be mediocre at all things equally on the strength of merely drinking Scotch with an egg shaken in it. You’d be surprised how inspiring the combination can be.
We also have scotch tape. Deep fried Sellotape you ask? Sadly just a brand
Ursula Ooh-La-La, I believe anything she says. A little protein is good for everyone!
Mais oui mon ami!
I thought Scotch eggs were those things hanging down in the Tabor toss.
Go on thinking that John!
Golf. Scotch eggs. I’m willing to do whatever it takes to meet Ursula.
Many share your ambition
Scotch eggs. Sound like they are in a real pickle.
They preserve a way of life
sour attitude?
That will cure all ills
a little jarring, though unless you’re fluid
That would leave me in a pickle
If I could only find Scotch eggs near me.
You are never more than 12 feet away from one Frank – if only you look hard enough!
Anything to improve the golf game.
