It is my pleasure, as Captain of the world’s 11^th oldest Golf Club, to welcome you to Leven Golfing Society and to the famous Leven Links. The iconic Clubhouse which overlooks what is claimed to be the second most difficult finishing hole in Scottish golf with the demonic Scoonie Burn surrounding the Green, is a magnificent turreted building housing many historical artefacts including the famous Standard Life Gold Medal which is older than the Open Championship’s Claret Jug. The Standard Life Open Amateur Stroke-play Championship which is the world’s oldest such competition was inaugurated in 1870 and has been won by many famous golfers including perhaps the most famous of all,  LEE WESTWOOD OBE who earlier this year kindly agreed to accept the Patronage of the Club. The Club is extremely proud and delighted that Lee accepted this honour because it was the Club’s way of acknowledging his many great golfing achievements both as an Amateur and now as a Professional. Leven Links is one of the finest and truest of all Scottish Links Courses with its bents and fescues and typical undulating links fairways and is enjoyed by all who play it.

To all visitors playing over the Links, I extend a very warm welcome and invite you to come into our Clubhouse and receive a typical Scottish warm welcome and at the same time look at the many historical items on display. I wish all Members and Visitors a continued good golfing year.
