Jeff,
Accoring to C & W, after Cambridge (he won't have been poor) he was a housemaster, teacher and athletic coach at Radley, one of the top public schools. He supplemented his income by writing about sports. He then became a full time journalist, writing about cricket for The Times and also writing a golf column. Through that he met Abercromby and worked with him on the design of some courses. After WW1 he became a partner in the firm with Aber, Fowler and Simpson, principally as business manager and publicist. His health was not good and he died in 1930 at the age of 44. For the record, Liphook is one of my very favourite heathland courses.
