The St Andrews Golf Club legends immortalised in new trophies

Members of The St Andrews Golf Club will compete for two new trophies this year.

Cast in bronze, they depict two of the characters who helped establish the Fife town as the home of golf.

The 17-inch mounted figures of David Todd and Allan Robertson are the work of acclaimed sculptor Angela Hunter, whose bronze bust of legendary rugby commentator Bill McLaren was last year unveiled at Murrayfield.

“It was certainly daunting to work on something so detailed and intricate but the immense prestige of a golfing commission from St Andrews was not lost on me and I was delighted to take it on,” Angela said.

Mr Todd, a painter by trade, was among the founders of a golfing society in St Andrews in 1843.

He was the unanimous choice of his peers to become the first captain of what was then the St Andrews Mechanics’ Golf Club. In 1851 it became The St Andrews Golf Club.

Mr Robertson is credited with being the world’s first golf professional and lauded as the first player to go round the Old Course in less than 80 strokes. He was captain of The St Andrews Golf Club in 1854.

Although he never won an Open Championship, having died the year before the first event was played at Prestwick in 1860, he won multiple tournaments and challenge matches and was a pioneering figure in early improvements to golfing equipment.

Angela set to work making resin models with just grainy, monochrome images of the duo dating back to the 1850s as a guide.

The resin models were sent for casting to the Powderhall Bronze foundry in Edinburgh where the figures were placed on top of black granite bases.
