Episode 148: TGH 148: The History of Musselburgh Links
February 1st, 2026 | Season 8 | 1 hr 23 mins
golf, golf history, musselburgh, open championship, the open, willie park
This may go down as one of my favorite podcasts in our eight years of production - my love of all things Musselburgh goes back to my first trip to it's links nearly 20 years ago. This nine hole links has lived through the best of times and certainly the bad. We are joined by my friend, historian and author Mungo Park as he shares the delightful history of this most honest town.
If you want to learn more, consider buying his book, "Musselburgh: Cradle of Golf" at Auld Grey Toon Golf Books

A special thanks to my new friend, Mungo Park. Make sure to look out for Mungo's new book in 2022 on the history of Musselburgh Links and the Park Family.
I would like to thank my 10 year old daughter, Charlotte for closing out the show today.

TalkinGolf History welcomes the Great Grandson of our first major championship winner to the show to discuss his Great Grandfather's Legacy - the first Open Championship winner, 4 time Open Champion, brother to an Open Champion and son to a two-time Open Champion.
The Park Legacy is not spoken with the same reverance we give to his counterpart who lived in St Andrews. On our show, Mungo Park and I discuss why the voices of the Park's have been muted by time along with the golfing history of the Honourable Town known as Musselburgh.
