INN-KS, Cilhen Office KDINllURGII : J. MEN/.IKS & Co. I 8 9 8 PREFACE HERE are already hosts of books in existence T which profess to teach the art of Golf. The present book does not meddle with that subject. All it professes to do is to bring together, in a form convenient for the Golfing Visitor, serviceable information as to the circumstances under which the game is prosecuted on St Andrews Links, along with a few details regarding the achievements of golfers, past and present, on the green. History has only been hinted at in passing. A very much larger volume would be required to do justice to the claims of the Links in this respect. Considerable pains have been taken to make the information trustworthy and accurate. Every point that a Visitor could be supposed to be curious about has been briefly mentioned, und a Plan has been specially prepared to show the route of the various Courses find the position of their holes. The character of the Courses can only be properly understood by actual experience, and the description given here in not set forward as more than an atlempt to indicate what is to be encountered. The various scores given should enable a golfer to estimate pretty accurately the i|uality of his own game, and the perfection which lias been demonstrated as attainable, ft is probable that interesting and suitable material may have been overlooked, in ease of a future edition, suggestions with a view to remedying such defects would bo welcomed by the Publishers.

  • President's Report, Year Ended 2019
    ST ANDREWS-LOCHES ALLIANCE President’s Report, year ended 31st December 2019 2019 began with our now traditional New Year Drinks Party. This was a very pleasant gathering of about 25 members during which I was able to announce the Alliance Programme for the coming year. We continued to run the bar for the first three SCO concerts at the Younger Hall, which raised on average about £130. We are grateful to the SCO for bearing the cost of the necessary ‘occasional licences’. This activity has come to a temporary halt while the Younger Hall is closed for refurbishment. In April we welcomed a group of golfers from Loches. The Community Council kindly offered a trophy and this was contested by the Loches golfers and a team made up mostly of Alliance golfing members. With some financial support from the Links Trust, matches took place over the Strathtyrum, Jubilee and Eden courses. The Alliance team narrowly beat the guests and won the trophy which was presented by Callum McLeod, Provost of St Andrews at a dinner on the last night of the visit. A return match in the Loches area is planned for 2020. A group of pupils from Madras College once again visited their partner school in Loches, Collège Georges Besse. The Alliance was able to contribute £800 to help make this possible. We are very keen to support this exchange as it offers local pupils the opportunity to visit our twin town, practise their language skills and experience the French way of life. We were disappointed that the French school was unable to make a return visit, due largely to their concerns over the situation surrounding Brexit.

  • St Andrews Links, the Home of Golf St Andrews Links Is the Largest Public Golfing Complex in Europe with Six 18-Hole Courses and One 9-Hole Course
    St Andrews Links, the Home of Golf St Andrews Links is the largest public golfing complex in Europe with six 18-hole courses and one 9-hole course. The three Championship courses; Old, New, Jubilee run side by side along the West Sands with the Eden, Strathtyrum and 9-Hole Balgove situated at the opposite end of the Links. The seventh course at the Home of Golf, the cliff-top Castle Course opened for play in 2008 and has continued to climb the Top 100 list ever since. Based five minutes from the centre of town, The Castle Course offers breath-taking views over the whole town.

  • Obarski Family
    The Last Shop in Earlsferry This article is based on a talk about the Obarski Family given by Irene Stevenson to the Elie and Earlsferry History Society on 13 February 2020 (the difference in the name Obarski and Obarska is explained by Polish convention of female surnames ending in …ska when the male form is …ski). I have been asked to give a talk on the village experiences of the Obarski family. This will be mainly about ‘Henry and Elsie’ as most people in Elie and Earlsferry will remember them. My name is Irene Stevenson. My Maiden name was Urquhart and Henry was my step-father, my mother’s second husband. I realise that quite a lot of people do not know that, and it is a credit to my family that I was recognised to be very much part of the Obarski family. I think I still qualify as the only person to give this talk! Below are some photographs and will be how most will remember Henry and Elsie. Henry came here during the war and like many others, he never talked about his war experiences. I do know that he was involved in Operation Market Garden at Arnhem. I have read much about this but I am not here to give a talk on Arnhem. If you have seen the film “A Bridge Too Far” or read the book, you will know about the awful things that happened there. I was well aware that he did suffer terribly from shell-shock. We had to be so careful not to make sudden noises, bang doors, etc.
