This advert from the Leven Mail promotes the Lundin Ladies Golf Club summer fete which took place in 1950. The following week's paper reported upon its success in spite of "unfavourable weather" and the fact that there were "less visitors in the district now than there were last month". Club Captain Mrs Hailie was quoted as saying "already we have raised enough to provide new lockers for the club rooms, a new shelter on the course, and to repair our fences and wire netting." The next targets for the Club's fund raising were apparently a "new gang motor and a tractor".
The fete itself was very much focussed on golf. Among the novel forms of the game on offer at the event were playing a game of golf with only one club throughout and play the game with any ball apart from a golf ball (eg cricket or table tennis ball).
Also featured were the then-popular Clock Golf and Delta Golf games. Clock Golf involved putting from 12 positions around a single hole laid out like a clock face (see image above of an example of this game from a different time and place).
