  • 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. Off the course, St Andrews Links Golf Academy is one of the premier instruction centres in Europe offering first-class coaching as well as a wealth of practice facilities including a 60 bay floodlit driving range and a short game area. The most popular visitor package is ‘Prepare to Play the Links.’ Playing on courses that run hard and fast and are subject to capricious breezes, Links golf is the most challenging and rewarding version of the game and the aim of this two hour programme is to ensure visitors get maximum enjoyment out of their round at the Home of Golf. Developed by our team of instructors, specialties include the low ball flight, pitching from tight lies, playing downwind, chip and runs, the “Texas wedge” and of course, how to escape Road Hole bunker. The package makes use of digital and video technology which is stored in the clients’ personal online account.
