But seriously, there existed courses (other than TOC) in Scotland prior to Allan Robertson's birth. Someone must have laid them out. There's also evidenece of golf being played in England, Ireland (1650s) and the US (1750s), all pre-dating Robertson.
Mother nature is usually credited with TOC, but isn't this because no one has any idea who laid it out. While the green sites may have always existed, someone must have made a decision on the routing.
I need to check the archives and find out more about this MacMorrow laddie
I believe he was a "hunter" / warrior.
