LYNDA COLSTON MBE

Posted on January 11, 2021 | by Lilian Spence

One of our members, Lynda Colston, has been awarded an MBE in the New Year’s Honours list.

Lynda has worked at the DWP since 1973 and has been instrumental in the design of mental health training being delivered to around 40,000 staff.

Lynda said: “It was a really nice feeling to find out the work I have been involved with has been recognised at such a high level.

“I am mindful of the many people at DWP who have helped bring this learning to so many people across the department in their work to help customers.”

But in spite of her demanding job involving a lot of travel, she has played a large part in her local church, running a fortnightly Ladies’ Group.

We add our congratulations to the many messages she has received from friends and colleagues.

History of LLGC

Posted on January 4, 2021 | by Brenda Morrison

The Lundin Ladies’ Golf Club was instituted in 1890 and formally constituted in 1891. The Ladies’ Golf Club has always been separate from the Lundin Golf Club, and is independent with its own clubhouse, course and staff. It has only lady members and is believed to be one of the oldest such club extant.

The original course was on the land by the beach known as the Massney Braes, although there is no record of the number of holes. It then moved to the area known then as the North Links in 1890. From the club’s inception in 1891 the constitution stated that the club shall consist of Lady members, Hon members, Gentlemen Associates and children over the age of seven.

New Clubhouse

Over the next 10 years the course moved and changed, taking up various parts of the ground along by the shore currently used by Lundin Golf Club.

It was in fact in 1908 that the gents from Lundin and Leven decided their course was too congested and they wanted to split at the mile dyke. To create a course of their own, they needed the land occupied by Lundin Ladies. Sir John Gilmour asked the ladies to move to a new site – The Standing Stanes Park. The new course was to be designed by James Braid.

The new course (2409yds) was to be taken over in 1909 and indeed the clubhouse was moved to its present position at that time.

In 1913 it was intended that the course be extended to 18 holes. However during the great war the land was required for agriculture and the intended new 9 holes were used for that purpose. The clubhouse was rented out to men of the 1st Highland Cyclists Battalion as a reading and recreation room!

The club decided to stay 9 holes only in 1922 and joined the LGU in 1927. In 1930 an additional 6 ½ acres of land were acquired and the current 3rd and 4th holes came into play. Apart from some minor adjustments the course has remained more or less the same ever since.

In WW2 some of the land on the course was taken for food production and the ladies were left with only 6 holes on which to play. As this saved the gentlemen from giving up part of their golfing ground, they generously allowed us use of their course free of charge! Our club suffered financially at this time and a great debt is owed to the enthusiastic ladies who kept the course going in the immediate post war period. The course became very popular and it is said that it was not unusual to see 40 people waiting on the 1st tee!!

It was not until the late 50s that Sunday golf was allowed after 1pm. In 1965 it was allowed from 9am.

The Ladies’ Club has long had a tradition of educating children in the etiquette and courtesy of the game. Many excellent golfers had their first golfing experience at the Ladies’ Course. Although this has declined somewhat in the last decade, it is currently being revived and youngsters can buy an annual ticket for just £20. Further plans have been put in place to encourage young people and we hope yet again to be ambassadors for good etiquette in the golfing youth.

The management of the club is carried out by a council consisting of 10 members. Although in the past gentlemen associates were included in the committee, (in an advisory capacity!) only ladies now manage the business of the club.

Our Wet Xmas Fun Day 12 December

Posted on December 13, 2020 | by Lilian Spence

Our Fun Game went ahead in the mist and the rain. 35 members braved the elements, came in very wet but everyone enjoyed their game.

We had lovely mince pies, shortbread and mulled wine for those of us fortunate enough not to have to drive! The winners were L-R Dianne Parish, Jan Stuart (Vice Captain) and Elinor Hay

Captain Senga Hogg presenting prizes to Dianne, Jan and Elinor

This year our Christmas Fun Game will take the form of 3 clubs and a putter played in groups of three over 9 holes. Two scores out of three will count at each hole and each team member must have at least 4 scores counted. A customised score card will be available to each team where each member’s gross score will be entered. After the hole is played and gross scores entered 2 members’ scores will be circled and totalled. When the round is complete the totals should be added and the team handicap subtracted. (It’s easy really)

We are starting at 10a.m. not 11a.m. as in the diary. 

Unfortunately, we shall not be able to provide our usual Christmas catering. However, there will be hot mulled wine and a mince pie for everyone after your game.

This is a fun game to allow us to get in to the “ Christmas spirit” after a challenging year and the opportunity to enjoy fellowship (all at a social distance)  Santa hats and tinsel are to be encouraged!!
