*A.H.Scott

Born in Earlsferry in 1875, Andrew Herd Scott started playing golf from a young age learning from the good players whom he caddied for around the Elie area. He was also fortunate to be the nephew of George Forrester, the renowned club maker with whom he served his apprenticeship before spending time with Charles Hunter at Prestwick who had succeeded Tom Morris as the professional.

Upon returning to the Elie Club, Andrew started a small club making business and it was not long before he was inventing new models. In 1894 be brought out a Driver with a four splice neck deemed to be unbreakable. Other notable models were his Invincible irons in 1896 and his Straightline Putter which he registered in 1899.

His club making skills gained him such a reputation that he was asked to make a set for the Prince of Wales in 1902 which allowed him to stamp the Plume of Feathers on his clubs and then in 1908 when King George V ascended the throne be was granted the Royal Warrant and replaced the feathers with a Crown. A great honour indeed for someone who started life as a caddy in Elie.
