View across 18th green Old Course from St. Andrews Golf Club Entrance to St. Andrews Golf Club Here is a link to my golf club's web site which I thought a few of my golfing friends may be interested in. There is a visitor section which will give you a flavour of the club which was established in 1843. If there are any golfers planning to visit St. Andrews you can become a 'Temporary Member' and enjoy the history and facilities of the golf club as long as you give the Secretary advanced notice. There are great views across the 18th green and 1st tee of the Old Course where one can easily sit and lose oneself in the timeless struggle of the golfer, ball and the Old Course.

The first 2012 golf outing for the OysterCatcher Golf Society will be held over the last weekend in February and the members will be residing in the wonderfully indulgent North Berwick Golf Lodge, www.northberwickgolflodge.co.uk , situated about a 25 minute drive south of Edinburgh. The golfers are booked on the historic West Links at North Berwick over the first couple of days. Two tee times have been arranged for Saturday 25th at 13.09 & 13.18pm and Sunday at 12.33 & 12.42pm. If I may suggest, the second round will allow the participants an opportunity to 'right' the shots lost the previous day.

The St. Andrews Links Trust will be making changes to the operation of the Local Ballot (lottery) that will be used by golfers to attain an Old Course tee time during 2012. The alteration will entail the tee times being drawn two days ahead of the day the golfers wish to play. Behind 17th Road hole green Old Course St.Andrews Approximately 50% of the tee times from Monday-Saturday (the Old Course is closed on a Sunday) are distributed by applying via the Local Ballot, when in St. Andrews, and not in possession of a pre-booked date and time. The change will occur from Saturday, 7th January 2012, when the Ballot will be drawn for golf to be played two days later on Monday, 9th January. This procedure will continue throughout 2012.
