Herbert Lawson
Carnoustie/Pennsylvania
Herbert Charles Lawson, born in Carnoustie in 1892, like his brother Jimmy excelled in both football and golf, winning a Junior Cup runners up medal as a centre-half with Port Glasgow.

He left Carnoustie for Pennsylvania in 1915 to take up a professional’s job in Pittsburgh. He stayed in Pennsylvania becoming professional at Thornburg CC before taking up that position at Edgewood CC in 1924. He tied for third in that year in the tri-state (NY, NJ, PA) professional championship behind Edward Towns, formerly of Montrose Mercantile, and the winner, fellow Carnoustian Dave McKay.

He resigned from Edgewood in 1930 but the golf was still going well: he had been runner up to Gene Sarazen in the Pennsylvania championship that year but something was not right, in December he died of self-administered poison leaving a widow and son.
