Pollokshaws Bowling Club was formed in 1854.
The club has had some success over the years in Scottish, Glasgow and Renfrewshire Bowling Association competitions.
Indeed, in the first Scottish Bowling Association Rinks Final in 1892 Pollokshaws reached the final only to lose narrowly to Kilmarnock.
National success was not to be denied, and in 1909 Thomas Wilson won the Men's Scottish Singles Final. This victory was commemorated by the Championship trophy he donated which is now played for annually by the male members of the club.
The club celebrated its 150th year in 2004 with a civic reception at Glasgow City Chambers. For the record, 2004's President was Samuel Robinson and the Men's Club Champion Marcus McGowan.
In 2005 further GBA success followed with a victory in the Triples at Rutherglen. Jim Smith, Paul Good and Alec Campbell were victorious over Mearns 14-10.
