Stitcher (Aberlady, Scotland): Sheila Baird
Mungo and Grace Park married in Musselburgh in 1901. They were exceptional golfers, raised beside the local links. Mungo had returned from America to manage his brother Willie’s golf development in Oxfordshire, but in 1903 sailed for Buenos Aires. There he became a pioneering professional golfer. Grace joined him and won the Ladies’ Open Championship in 1904, 1909 and 1910. In 1905 Mungo won the first Argentine Open Championship ‘El Abierto’, and again in 1907 and 1912. He coached the first generation of Argentine golfers before leaving in 1924 to join his brothers, Willie Park Jnr and John, in North America and Canada.
