Was a pleasure to meet up with author & golf historian Roger McStravick yesterday in St. Andrews!. When I saw this Lady Margaret Scott tobacco card recently, I knew it had to be gifted to him. His children’s books are fantastic - Grab a copy today at the links below!
Here they are side by side. A wonderful cigarette card, thanks to John and Jordan Morton from @AGTGolfBooks, of Lady Margaret Scott alongside my children’s book, Little Lady Margaret Scott. LMS truly was a golfing great and an inspiration to this day.

A friendly reminder that golf largely has THIS man to thank for the need to create #TheOpen!. Because of Allan Robertson’s dominance (He was Champion Golfer for 19 STRAIGHT YEARS!), after his death in 1859, it was decided that a tournament needed to be held to determine the next
