Golf star Bobby Cruickshank ‘deserves his place in history’

Advertisements

Bobby Cruickshank won more than 20 golf tournaments and is considered a sporting legend in the US.

But his story is less well known back home in Scotland.

Born in Grantown-on-Spey in 1894, he served in World War One and survived the horrors of the Somme.

He later escaped from a prisoner of war camp at Arras in France before emigrating in 1921.

Now the Highland course where he learned to play is offering golfers an “immersive” experience in his honour, including the chance to use hickory clubs like Cruickshank played with in the 1920s and 1930s.
