Anthony,
In 1925, a young Scottish professional named Roland Oswald came to America after serving as a member of the First Team of Carnoustie Golfer's as an 18 year-old the year before, and was given a job as clubmaker and professional at the Fisher's Island Golf Club. His is an amazing story including his enlisting in the U.S. Army in 1940 despite not being an American citizen. In 1942 the PGA of America gave him entry into the PGA championship (only major held that year) because of his playing ability and to honor his military commitment. Even though this was his lifelong dream to play in the PGA championship, he wrote to them and declined the opportunity. He said, "Uncle Sam has ordered me to be at Camp Livingstone… [Louisiana] where, with a few other Sergeants, we will form a new company.” He did this in part because he had been "promoted to Technical Sergeant last Friday... I cannot say that I’ll enjoy my new location as I was out there last summer during maneuvers, but will have to make the best of it.”
Despite almost getting killed in a freak accident after WWII ended (he served in the tank repair unit with Patton's army suring the Battle of the Bulge without a scratch) causing him to almost loose an arm & a leg, he would end up back at Fisher's Island as a pro and would later on serve as head pro at Hay Harbor.
I believe that his family may have information that can help you as both Brooks and White aided him in landing the Fisher's Island job. I have the contact information in my files for his son who contacted me after I wrote an article about his father several years ago.
