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.

I believe the last one taken was 2000, over 10 years ago. There have been a few new additions to the club since then, I being one of them, and a few stalwart members have sadly passed on. The St. Andrews GC getting into position. Our man in charge taking control, requesting focus! As I did not have a dark blazer but was wearing a white shirt, with the addition of a recently purchased St. Andrews GC tie, I decided that the back row was a good place to be. I am the second head from the left. A good photo of the golf club members, 2011.
