Golfers Dunlap and Goodman had flowers for the last resting places of Golfer Tom Morris and his son & namesake who between them won eight British Open titles between 1861 and 1873. There were more flowers for Allan Robertson, oldtime Scottish champion who died in 1859 secure in the knowledge that on his headstone would be graven the deathless words: FAR AND TRUE. This sentimental pilgrimage accomplished, Messrs. Dunlap, Goodman and Ouimet nipped back to the Royal & Ancient Club for some more practice. On that oldest and most formidable...
