Throughout his life, Shetland man James Thomas Leask, (known locally as Jim of Asta) played at several small golf courses in Shetland. Beginning his love for golf at a small course near Asta farm called Berry and then moving to golf courses in the south mainland of Shetland in Sumburgh and laterally playing at the Dale golf course from 1976 when it first opened. Dale golf course grew larger and more challenging over the years, adding a second 9 to become an 18-hole course in 1978. Dale is now known as the ‘Shetland Golf Club’ and offers a unique game of golf, which is a must for anyone travelling through Shetland. While Playing at Dale golf club and with the alternative courses closing, Jim Leask realized there was nowhere for less-abled players to play golf, somewhere for the older and younger generation alike. It was then, that this vision of Asta Golf Course started to take place. Having spent his childhood and working life on Asta Farm, Jim married Winnie Leslie and built their home along the road from the farm, Jim would often take his young family along with a few balls onto the arable ground on the farm, this ground would become the setting for the Asta Golf Course. Pictured - Two of Jim and Winnie’s 5 daughters in the corn stacks at Asta Farm. This ground was to become the south fairway of the Asta Golf Course. Jim and Winnie’s home looks down onto the golf course, the corn stacks in the distance are on the ground that is now our course. Looking from the top of the East hill of Asta, one of Jim and Winnie’s 5 daughters can be seen looking over the freshly ploughed fields that were to become the golf course. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60460800f2efe4588ba65d8f/1615223233455-K3FO3MCCRX6RTDZIO9EV/rsz_golfcourse_20190314_0025.jpg History - Making the dream a reality.. Making his dream a reality, Jim along with his family and friends, made the Asta Golf Course while employing both his son’s, Michael and David to assist with the greenskeeping. On the 18th of July 1992, local Golfer Dodie Leask hit the first ball on the Asta Golf course, opening the course for all to enjoy. The opening day continued with a competition, of which, Tom Worthington won, he can be seen pictured here receiving the Cup from Sandy Cluness with Jim Leask standing right to Sandy. The clubhouse was a small porta cabin at the time with many great nights held there. Pictured - Jim Leask along with players at the Asta Golf Course opening competition. Dodie Leask and Willie Smith having a laugh after the opening day.

Jim and Winnie’s home can be viewed from the spot as can the mound on the course where there is a memorial stone for Jim. If you are passing the bench in a game of golf, or just passing throught the Tingwall Valley, why not ‘Tak a pew’ on the bench and remember the history of the course and the people that made it what is it. We do, with a smile on our face and love in our hearts. For Jim and Winnie. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60460800f2efe4588ba65d8f/1615397421913-ODNBJQUVY4J022B393FI/IMG_9587.jpg History https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60460800f2efe4588ba65d8f/1615397444229-OZY12W22H6C84TDUUL67/IMG_9585.jpg History https://www.astagolfcourse.com/who-we-are-now daily 0.75 2026-03-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60460800f2efe4588ba65d8f/1615462189354-4MPZKSHOUMQJ08TCKTUF/Teresa+-+Asta+%2820%29.jpg Who we are now - Greenskeeping Michael has been at Asta Golf Course from the beginning of the course being built - Truth be told he's been there since before it was built! Born and raised at Asta, Michael has assisted his dad Jim in creating, maintaining and growing the course to what it is today. From an early age, Michael would play golf with his family on the ground that is now the Asta Golf Course and in the 90's Michael would often be seen taking his own children onto the course as his dad did with him. Michael is fond of a game of golf and through the years has won many competitions and also took part in the famous Tingwall Foy jousting which was held on the ground that is now the course. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60460800f2efe4588ba65d8f/1615462240399-4R334G4JY5XKX84VPX0Y/Teresa+-+Asta+%2811%29.jpg Who we are now https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60460800f2efe4588ba65d8f/1615462312429-R5V5KE68W3M9FBKMDQ2A/IMG-20200715-WA0002.jpg Who we are now https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60460800f2efe4588ba65d8f/1615462784795-9P30XFAO71AHXXSA2R4K/rsz_img_4127+%281%29.jpg Who we are now https://www.astagolfcourse.com/shetland daily 0.75 2021-03-11
