Five-time Open Champion Peter Thomson spoke at a reception to celebrate the first season of the Tom Morris Golf Shop in St Andrews last night.
The oldest golf shop in the world reopened in April this year following an extensive renovation and features a display of some original pieces of furniture which belonged to Tom Morris.
Around 50 guests from the world of golf and the St Andrews community attended the reception.
Euan Loudon, Chief Executive of St Andrews Links Trust, said, “This has been an important project not only for the Trust and the town but the world of golf. Tom was such a hugely influential figure in shaping the modern game and this was his workshop, the place where he made it all happen.
“The new shop format celebrates his achievements and the crest on the apparel and merchandise preserves the rich legacy he left behind. The shop has already proved popular this summer and we hope many more people take the chance to visit in the future.”
