Clubmakers

T D Currie
Dornoch
Tommy Denholm Currie, was born in Colinsburgh, near Elie, in 1878 and served his clubmaking apprenticeship with A H Scott in the town. He moved to Dunbar where he was foreman with clubmakers J & D Clark and remained in that position when the business was taken over J & A Dickson.

He was the immediate successor to the great Donald Ross at Royal Dornoch and remained there from 1900 until 1921. Like Ross, he emigrated to the US and was pro at the Inverness club in Toledo, OH from 1924 (officially) until 1928. He was probably pro there immediately after leaving Dornoch because, Sandy Herd's autobiography, published in 1923, mentions playing with J H Taylor in a fourball against Currie at Toledo in 1922.

In the early 1930s he moved to Knollwood Golf Club, Lake Forest, Illinois.
