Methil Golf Club, Fife. (1892 - 1903)

Methil Golf Club was formed in 1892.

The course was situated on Shepherd's Park but because of industrial development moved to Leven in 1903.

In June 1899 Mr R Dishart won the monthly medal, beating A Baird after a tie. Mr L Dewar came close to breaking the course record in a heat for the Greig Cup. Other qualifiers for the Greig Cup; Melrose, Hynd, Dewar, Gillies, Gordon, Dishart, A and G Robertson.
