  • Lochend Golf Club 125 Years from Leith Links to the Tinny
    LOCHEND GOLF CLUB – 125 YEARS – FROM LEITH LINKS TO THE TINNEY LEITH LINKS TO – 125 YEARS FROM GOLF CLUB LOCHEND Lochend Golf Club 125 Years From Leith Links to The Tinny © Lochend Golf Club 2016 Lochend Golf Club, 147 Craigentinny Avenue, Edinburgh EH7 6RG Tel 0131 554 7960 Lochend Golf Club_COVER V1.indd 1 06/12/2016 09:46 Introduction From Harry Ward When I was asked by your Captain to write this history I had no hesitation in saying yes, partly because I enjoy researching club histories, but also partly because the Lochend Golf Club is one of the few surviving club’s along with the Honourable Company at Muirfield, to have played on the old Leith Links, the original home of golf. Because of this unique situation I decided to begin the book with some information regards the old Leith Links Club and their demise which led ultimately to the end of the Seafield and Leith club’s, and the birth of the Lochend Golf Club. The two things which have alluded me in my quest for new information on Lochend Golf Club are: 1. The actual formation meeting of the club in 1891, which we know was brought about with the dissatisfaction of some of the members of the old Leith Golf Club, and, 2. The actual demise of the Seafield club, who joined with the Lochend club in the battle for a new course. The Lochend club still retain some of the old trophies from the Seafield Club which would suggest some sort of amalgamation, but as a historian I dislike conjecture, so the task of finding this information will carry on.

  • Golf - an Elite Game Only? David Hamilton
    RLHF Journal Vol.8 (1997) 3. The Aristocratic Myth Early Scottish Golf - an elite game only? David Hamilton It is asserted occasionally that only a small number of gentlemen golfers played the game of golf in early Scotland and that they, and their tiny number of clubs formed in the 1700s, alone kept the game alive until the boom in golf in the mid 1800s.(1) If this assertion is true, important consequences flow from it, not least that historians of democratic outlook can ignore golf history on the grounds that it was not a politically correct game in this early Scottish phase. I believe that the historical record is to the contrary: all the documents suggest that golf was popular with Scottish citizens in the 1700s and earlier. The reasons why this dimension has been missed by historians are also of interest to contemporary sports history, and can be looked at too. The evidence suggesting a broad interest in golf by all classes is firstly that many ordinary golfers were brought before the church courts in the 1700s, for playing on Sundays. The offenders singled out by the Kirk Sessions were not men of substance, but ordinary citizens - tailors, masons, apprentices and others. Young men and boys also feature in the church's actions. The frequent mention of golf in these Sunday limitations reveals the popularity of the game. It was not a minority sport of the privileged.(2) Even in St Andrews, the Kirk Session took action against the Sunday golfers. St Andrews Kirk Session, Dec 18th 1583 reports: "This quilk [same] day, it was delaited [judged] that Alexander Miller's two sonis [sons] ar inobedient to him, and that thei, with Nichol{ Mane, William Bruse and otheris, their complices, playit in the golf fields Sunday last wes, Lyme of fast and preching, agains the ordinances of the kirk.
