History
Pollokshaws Bowling Club was formed in 1854.

In 1888, Nicol Cameron of Pollokshaws Bowling Club was elected the inaugural President of the Glasgow Bowling Association.

The honour of being President of the GBA was also bestowed upon R. Kerr in 1905 and J. M. Geddes in 1966.

Pollokshaws has also been honoured with the Presidency of the Renfrewshire Bowling Association on several occasions: R. Smith (1884), M. Henderson (1887), J. D King (1898), G. Lang (1916), and J. Nesbitt (2004).

The club has had some success over the years in Scottish, Glasgow and Renfrewshire Bowling Association competitions.

Indeed, in the second ever Scottish Bowling Association National Rinks Final in 1892 Pollokshaws reached the final only to lose narrowly to Kilmarnock 21-20. In 2014 Pollokshaws finally won the National Rinks beating Bonnyrigg 17-15 at Ayr Northfield.

In 1909 Thomas Wilson won the Men's Scottish National 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.

In 1944 Pollokshaws won the J. B. Richardson Trophy which is now known as the Scottish National Senior Rinks. The team was William Kerr, Peter Sinclair, J. McCulloch, and Neil Baxter.

1937 was probably the club's most successful year. Pollokshaws won the Renfrewshire County Cup, Gilmour Cup and the Nether Pollok Estate Cup in that glorious season.

In the centenary year of 1954 the club moved from the Shaws side of Pollokshaws Road into Pollok Country Park. This gives Pollokshaws a wonderful country setting, when in reality it is in the middle of the busy Glasgow South Side.

In 2004 as well as celebrating the club's sesquicentennial, John Nesbitt was President of the Renfrewshire Bowling Association.
