We are pleased to share that St Andrews Links Trust is in advanced discussions to take over a long-term lease of the championship Duke's golf course, adding an eighth course to our stewardship at the world-renowned Home of Golf. The plans, which are subject to finalisation, would see the Links Trust take over the management of the Duke’s course later this year from the Old Course Hotel, Golf Resort & Spa, owned by US-based Kohler. The agreement would provide additional playing opportunities for links ticket holders and visitors to St Andrews.

Yesterday we were delighted to be joined by members of local charities for a delicious festive lunch at the Tom Morris Bar & Grill. It was a great opportunity for us to learn a little bit more about the work these organisations do within the community. More than that – it was a chance to celebrate those who work hard giving their time to others this festive season. The event was hosted by our recently appointed Community Engagement Lead, Christine Randall-Klee. We were lucky to be joined by the following organisations: St Andrews Community Trust, Families First, North East Fife Community Hub, Lady Margaret Skiffington Trust, St Andrews Environmental Network, Storehouse St Andrews Foodbank and Options in Life.

We would like to acknowledge the incredible support shown by our colleagues across the business last month in aid of our Movember campaign.   The campaign was organised by our Wellbeing Champions, the first Employee Resource Group established at St Andrews Links Trust.   Dave Barrie, one of our Wellbeing Champions, took lead on the initiative and chose to fundraise for it, using any and all opportunities to start conversations focused on men’s health with colleagues around the business. Whilst the primary focus for Movember was raising awareness on men’s health, we thank all our colleagues who donated and supported the cause and helped Dave in raising £428.

We are proud to announce the release of a commemorative brochure to celebrate the 50th anniversary of St Andrews Links Trust in 2024.   Published on St Andrews Day (30th November 2024) the brochure offers a look into the Trust’s history, showcasing key milestones, rarely seen photographs and innovations that have shaped the Links into what it is today.   Physical copies are available across the St Andrews Links site in our clubhouses or you can view a digital version here: https://lnkd.in/eqHHNtjy
