He was apprentice to Alan Robertson, the famous St. Andrews feather ball maker. In 1865 Tom Morris set up a workshop overlooking the famous St. Andrews Golf Course, where he was ‘Keeper of the Green’.
Even after Tom’s death in 1908, at the age of 87, the firm he established continued to produce clubs bearing his name. This wood club was one of the Tom Morris company’s popular ‘Autograph’ series introduced after his death.
