 Bruntsfield Links Golfing Society
In his preamble to the Bruntsfield Links Society section of his book, Mr Robert Clark comments that “The first Minute-Book in the possession of the Club dates from 1787, in which year the Club underwent conversion from a Society to a Club, whatever that may mean”.
For example, on 25th April 1818, the Bruntsfield formally presented an invitation to the Burgess for an annual match and conceded that the Chairman at the gaming dinner afterwards would be the Captain Duncan of the Burgess, as captain of the ‘senior’ club, with the Bruntsfield’s Captain Gardner acting as Croupier.
The Bruntsfield society detail the invitation and explain the subsequent match on 4th June 1818, was to mark the opening of the sixth (and last) hole at Bruntsfield Links, to be called the Union Hole in commemoration of the goodwill between the two clubs.
