Croydon Chronicle and East Surrey Advertiser – Saturday 13 January 1912

GALPIN’S PARK GOLF CLUB. The above club opened their new links for play on Christmas Day, and in spite of the inclement weather a large number of members were present. The links are situated at the end of Galpin’s-road adjoining Mitcham Common, in a large field of some 45 acres. An excellent nine-hole course has been laid out with temporary greens for winter use and the proper greens will be ready for play in the spring. A most gratifying feature attending this new departure is that although barely a month since the inception of the club upwards of 100 members have been enrolled. Intending members would do well to send in their names without delay to the Hon. Secretary, Mr. T. C. Quiney, Bickleigh, Guildersfield-road, Streatham, who will be pleased to give any information on the subject.

The club was taken over by the Pollards Hill Golf Club, as reported in the Streatham News – Saturday 19 April 1913

The Pollards Hill Golf Club, Ltd. Pollards-hill South, Norbury, has taken over the Galpins Park Golf Club, and has, it is said, decided to make the course 18 holes.
