Update and Fife Golf 2025 Fixtures

Following the news that Fife Golf Limited has been established, the board has been approved and supporting sub-committees formed, work has started on unifying many of the aspects previously run separately for Fife Golfing Association and Fife County Ladies Golf Association. This will take time to progress and is likely to be in stages through 2025. In the meantime, information will be shared on the Fife Golf website, and where appropriate on this site too. Note the fifegolf.org website will be retained and updated to reflect news and other information for all amateur golfers across Fife.

A unified Fife Golf fixture list for 2025 has been created and can be found on this site here and also on the Fife Golf fixture list.

Please do share this information to your friends that may not have been members of FCLGA, as all ladies that are members of an affiliated club in Fife are welcome to play! 

Press release from Fife Golf - February 2025

Following an historic Special General Meeting, held at Balbirnie Park Golf Club on 3^rd February 2025, the unification of the Fife Golfing Association and the Fife County Ladies Golfing Association was completed.

Both organisations received positive votes for unification at their separate AGMs in late 2024, and a small unification team worked quickly since then to get organised in good time for the 2025 playing season.

The new body Fife Golf Ltd has been established as a “Private Company Limited by Guarantee” and will be known as “Fife Golf”.

Fife becomes only the second Area in Scotland to join forces, following the lead of Scottish Golf North, who merged in 2018.

Representatives from 19 Clubs were in attendance to hear Chairperson Jim McArthur explain the details of how the organisation will be structured, and the proposed plans for the coming year.

Personnel details are: Co-Chair: Marina Hope (Kirkcaldy GC) and Jim McArthur (New Club, St Andrews); Vice-Chair: John Baxter (Lundin GC); Secretary: David McPherson (Burntisland GHC); Finance Convenor: Aileen Baker (Crail GS); Performance Convenor: Karin Sharp (Kirkcaldy GC); Competition Convenor: John Baxter; Marketing & Communications Convenor: Lorraine Morrow (St Regulus GC)

Update and Christmas message from President Marina

Dear FCLGA members, please find below an update from President Marina.

First, I'm sure you're keen for an update on the proposed amalgamation, and I can confirm that FGA passed the proposed affiliation at their AGM and that a unification team will work towards setting up the new body Fife Golf Ltd. An SGM will be held in early February where we can finalise the structure and governance. We are striving to have good balance of representation between men and women (and encouraging all forms of diversity), this requires people to step up and get involved. If any of our members have an interest in volunteering in a role with the new organisation, please get in touch via fclgaweb@googlegroups.com. There are opportunities available across all areas, including Competitions, Performance, Marketing and Communications. 

Secondly, I would like to wish all Fife ladies a very Merry Christmas and a happy healthy New year and look forward to seeing them at our competitions in 2025!

2025 Scottish Womens Amateur Tour

A message from Alan Tait, founder of the Scottish Womens Amateur Tour:

Some members may recall last year saw the launch of the Scottish Womens Amateur Tour, the schedule for 2025 launched last Friday and we've already had a great response. Some of Fife members took part in 2024 and by all accounts enjoyed the opportunity to play some great courses. Excitement is already building for the ’25 season and the schedule has increased to 7 x 36 hole tournaments and 7 x 18 hole events. Amazing value for money as well given the venues, with entry fees of £45 for 18 hole events and £65 for the 36 holers 😊. The leading players from the end of season order of merit will also compete in a grand final at wonderful Cabot Highlands Castle Stuart in September.

I’m doing a wee “Early Bird Christmas Offer” with a 20% discount to join the tour. This is valid until New Years Day and already many of the girls / women have taken advantage to get signed up early which is great. I’d really appreciate any support you can offer and can also find more details at www.alantaitgolf.co.uk and click on “Golf Tours”.
