St Mungo Golf Club

Back in 1894, the golf club section of the Glasgow and District Licensed Trade Defence Association, known as St Mungo, had their eye on the links situated between Gailes camping ground and Barassie to build a course.

The character of the turf was similar to that of the Gailes Club, but as it stood, did not, naturally present such a variety of surface. Golf links south of Gailes would have the advantage of being within easy distance of either the new railway station at Gailes or the present station at Barassie. The ground was on the Fullarton estate and belonged to the Duke of Portland.

That never materialised and St Mungo continued to look for a home, including sharing the Gailes course with Glasgow Golf Club, until 1895 when it entered into an arrangement with Irvine Golf Club to share their course at Bogside.

The St Mungo Club acquired the right to use the Irvine golf course and clubhouse at Bogside, with playing being on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Arrangements had been made with the railway company to stop trains on those days at Bogside Station.

When the train’s left Irvine, a bell would sound in the clubhouse alerting the St Mungo members that the train would soon be arriving at the Bogside station.

In 1974, St Mungo captain George Falconer held discussions with Irvine, the Scottish Golf Union and the R&A.  The result was to establish St Mungo as an official club with their home at the Bogside links.  This was accepted by all committees and the governing body which led to permission being granted to play from the Medal tees, qualifying them to come under the national handicapping system at that time.

To this day, there remains a tight bond between the two golf clubs.  Past Captains of Irvine Golf Club are invited to become members of St Mungo upon completion of their elected year.

The St Mungo Club have priority tee bookings every Thursday morning when their competitions are held.

The picture shows the recent success of the St Mungo club securing the Guardian trophy, played for between the licensing teams across Scotland.
