Old Tom Morris

Tom Morris is often thought of as the Grandfather or the Father of Golf. His mastery of the game claimed him 4 Open Championships, his battles with Willie Park were legendary, he was the only man to ever beat his mentor Alan Robertson, he was the first greenskeeper, he raised perhaps the greatest golfer that ever lived and he was the true authority on the rules of golf.

One time Old Tom was asked to make a strange ruling. A terrible golfer swiped at his ball and somehow the ball popped straight up and got stuck in the very same man's beard. Tom ruled a one stroke penalty.

Great Photo

I bet whoever voted down on this thinks that golf was invented in April 1997.

Looks like Lewis in a few years....many years

Great pic!

You think his beard helped him to keep his head down. The Wolf

Nice pic of old Tom

Nothing better than to be called "old". Epic!

I think NIKEMOJO has a picture of himself with a statue of this guy in St Augustine. The guy was huge!!

LOOKS LIKE OLD TOM LIKED TO HIT IT FROM THE ROUGH
