Allan Robertson and Tom Morris: Pioneers of Golf in the 1880s This photograph, taken in 1889, features two of the most influential figures in the early history of golf: Allan Robertson (1815-1859) and Tom Morris (1821-1908). The image captures the essence of a bygone era, as the two golfing legends showcase their skills on a lush, green course. Allan Robertson, known as 'Old Tom Morris of St. Andrews,' was a Scottish golfer, greenkeeper, and clubmaker. He is credited with designing the first set of golf clubs specifically for the sport, and his innovative design of the 'featherie' ball revolutionized the game. Robertson's impact on golf is evident in his distinctive cap, which has become synonymous with the game. Tom Morris, also known as 'Young Tom Morris,' was a professional golfer and greenkeeper at St. Andrews. He dominated the sport during the 1860s and 1870s, winning the Open Championship a record seven times. Morris's impressive play and dedication to the game helped to establish golf as a popular pastime and a respected sport. The photograph shows the two golfing greats in their prime, dressed in the fashionable attire of the Victorian era. Robertson, with his iconic cap, and Morris, wearing a flat cap, stand side by side, each holding a golf club and preparing for their next shot. The ball lies at their feet, ready to be struck, as they engage in a friendly conversation, showcasing the camaraderie and sportsmanship that has long been a part of golf's rich history. This photograph is a testament to the enduring legacy of Allan Robertson and Tom Morris, who, through their passion and innovation, laid the foundation for the game of golf as we know it today.
