Description
Wee Bobby Cruickshank: A Story from the Golden Journey of Golf In the 1920s and 1930s, golf pros faced a challenge: how to earn a living during the winter months. The Los Angeles Open's $10,000 purse in 1926 sparked the Golden Journey, which transformed the sport into what we know today. As one of the pioneers of this new era, Bobby Cruickshank had to be his own promoter. He and fellow pros traveled together, sharing trains and hotels, and spending their free time socializing. Despite the hardships, they found ways to make a living, even playing for small purses at unexpected tournaments. This book tells the story of what life was really like during those days, offering a unique glimpse into the world of early professional golf.
