The "Grand Old Man of Golf" Old Tom Morris sadly passed away on this day in 1908. Old Tom lived a life we can all learn from, it has been and will continue to be a privilege to empower Scotland's Talent of Tomorrow from his legacy. We owe him that. @BonnieWeeGolf @ScottishGolf

Well done to all concerned. You have done Tommy proud. 👏👏

I am delighted to say that thanks to the St Andrews Pilgrim Foundation, a plaque has been put up at 1 Albany Place for four-time Champion Golfer Tommy Morris. It will be 150 years since Tommy passed on Christmas Day 1875, so this is timely. It is the site of one of golf's greatest tragedies. Tommy, just after a match in North Berwick with his dad Tom, against the Park brothers, had been alerted by telegram when standing by the 18th green, to get home as his wife Meg was having a difficult labour. As the boat pulled away and still within earshot, a second telegram arrived at the green to say that she had died. The boat was close enough for them to call it back, but they decided not to tell him. So Tommy did the 3 hour journey not knowing if his wife was alive or dead. He arrived in St Andrews, ran down North Street to 1 Albany Place. Rev Boyd was at the steps you can see in the photo and said he was sorry for Tommy's loss. Tommy said 'It's not true. It's not true.' and ran upstairs. There he found his wife and child dead. Tommy would follow them three months later, when he died in his sleep at Tom's house at 6 Pilmour Links. It was Tom who found him when he went to wake him on Christmas morning.

2025 has been a very frustrating year with regards to a lack of response from schools. It's therefore great to have so many memorable memories like this wonderful day last year @Portnockie PS. We did Old Tom proud that day. #FarandSure

A massive thank you to P6 class teacher Mrs Cope for sending me all the wonderful portraits and inspiring letters so soon. An @OTMTrail Coin is on its way to Brodie for his wonderful portrait He wrote:
"I loved learning about Old Tom and Young Tom Morris. I wish he lived longer"

Some fantastic feedback from P6 pupil Hannah from Tain.
"I wish I could have met Old and Young Tom Morris to thank them for inspiring me. Their story was both inspirational and sad, a day I will never forget"
Thank you Hannah. Your words Inspire me.

The three pillars that form the LFTL Life Skills Experiences are:

Educate children from the legacy of Old and Young Tom Morris.
Empower children with a knowledge of the life skills used to shape these legacies.
Inspire children to become the pioneers of their own path in life.

@SProctorGolf @HythehillPS @OTMTrail It's been a frustrating time due to a lack of response but like Old Tom we never give up. Hope you are well my friend. 👍

[Learn From Their Legacy @LFTLegacy]

In 2023 I had the privilege of visiting @HythehillPS on the @OTMTrail to provide the P6 pupils with a unique experience of learning about Old Tom and the life skills he displayed to shape a legacy we can all learn from. I look forward to returning in the new term to empower more.

Looking back at some of the fantastic Old Tom Morris portraits I have received from my journey across the @OTMTrail . I love this very youthful looking Old Tom from Eva from my visit to @GullanePs last year.

Finally paid our respects to Old Tom @TheHomeofGolf. A passing group asked "who was Tom Morris" 1 hour later they offered their thanks and said they had a dinner reservation booked. Lol #Theydidask @SProctorGolf @OTMTrail @BonnieWeeGolf
