Election Day! If All Goes Well...

The Royal and Ancient Golf Club will reveal their vote around 6 pm in Scotland and polls close at 10 pm for the Scottish Independence vote, with no one sure when the outcome will be determined.

As for those of you who envisioned Jim McCallister of Election handling a possible close vote count, this Sky Sports report explains who is doing the R&A vote counting.

A spokesman for The Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews said: "The club is balloting its members on a change to its membership rules that would enable it to welcome women members.

"Over 2,400 ballot papers have been sent out and the vote is independently scrutinised by Electoral Reform Services. A simple majority is required to effect the proposed change. Should the outcome be in favour of welcoming women members the decision will take immediate effect.

There was also this line from Peter Dawson in the story (I think). Ladies of golf, get those phone lines clear!

"The first women members in a mixed membership Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews are likely to have made a significant contribution to the development of our sport."
