Two new Trustees are appointed

ST ANDREWS LINKS TRUST: R&A member Richard Muckhart and Gillian Kirkwood, chairman of the Ladies’ Golf Union, have been appointed as new Trustees, replacing Neil Crichton and Ken Stewart.

“The Trustees have an important strategic role to play,” said Euan Loudon, chief executive of the Links Trust, which manages the seven public courses in St Andrews. “Richard and Gillian have exemplary track records in golf and will, I am sure, make valuable contributions. They join us when the economic climate is challenging and the Trustees have asked management to focus on delivering a world-class golfing experience to its customers, as well as continuing the development of partnership activity.”

Kirkwood takes up the Scottish Government nomination from Stewart.
