Design by award winning designer Chic Harper, winner of the USGA and Murdoch best book of the year multiple occasions. THE STRATH FAMILY NAME is indelibly written into the history of golf. It can be seen on the Champion's Belt, the original Open Championship trophy, and recurs in the record books and annals of the great game. However, the overall achievements and contributions of a single generation of this golfing family remain largely unsung. This final book by the late Dr David Malcolm, co-written by Noel Terry, constitutes an attempt to establish the rightful place of the Straths in the firmament of golf in the 19th century and highlight their contribution to the evolution of the modern game. It is also the story of the emergence of a family in a remote Scottish royal burgh in Victorian Britain. The mid-19th century provided opportunities aplenty in the expanding cities, the sprawling products of the Industrial Revolution, but in the isolated Scottish township of StAndrews, largely by-passed by commerce, the chance for betterment of the individual was limited. Those with an eye to self-improvement were left with the option of taking their craft skills to the cities or emigrating to the New World or the Colonies. Golf proved to be the salvation of the town and, for other than the academic families of its ancient University, it provided a living ? none more so than for the Strath family. Alexander Strath and his seven sons were representative of time and place. Although all of the Strath brothers were talented in the game, their relative successes were regulated by character. Alexander, John and James were happy to play whilst plying their trade as plumbers; George was content as a journeyman golf professional and club servant with apparently little appetite for the contest. Only Andrew and Davie seemed prepared to enter the golfing fray, whilst Willie withdrew from competition to the life of a caddy.
