Bobby Cruickshank

Robert Allan Cruickshank (16 November 1894 – 27 August 1975) was a Scottish-born golfer who played primarily in the United States.

Born in Grantown-on-Spey in rural northern Scotland,[2] Cruickshank learned his golf as a boy playing over the town's course.

A wealthy widow named Mrs. Isabella Usher made an offer to Cruickshank's parents to provide an education for their two sons in Edinburgh.

Representing his old school's former pupils (Stewart's FP Golf Club) Cruickshank was part of a team which won the Evening Dispatch Trophy.

In 1921, Cruickshank turned professional and moved to the United States,[1] as suggested by his mentor and friend, Tommy Armour.

In 1923, he finished second to Bobby Jones down by two shots after an 18 hole playoff at Inwood Country Club, New York.
