Members clash over 'toxic' Scottish golf club takeover bid (and an American is behind it)
Members at the Glen Golf Club are feuding over an £8 million takeover bid amid claims of intimidation and toxicity.
The escalating dispute over a multi-million-pound takeover bid for the Glen Golf Club in East Lothian has left members divided and unable to sit together in the clubhouse. Private investors The Ancient Links Golf Company (TALGC), backed by American investor Douglas Cifu, are seeking to take over the club for £8 million in return.
Critics have accused TALGC of creating a "patriarchy" and attempting to dictate to other members how to vote. The opposition group, Save the Glen, argues that the club does not need investment and has launched a website with an alternative plan. The situation has intensified as the club prepares for a vote on whether to proceed with TALGC's proposal.
