Thistle Youth Memberships
In the 1880’s as golf became more popular amongst the broader population, ‘Thistle’ clubs started to be formed, including one at Crail. Young golfers, keen for competition amongst their peer group, assembled in local pubs and created their own culture. The Society continues to foster that competitive and social spirit today. Our younger Thistle Members enjoy the very same access and benefits of Full Society Membership at more affordable cost.
