Scotland's 'forgotten golfer': From PoW to sporting icon
@Source: bbc.com
Steve Stuart from Grantown-on-Spey Golf Club has been driving the legacy project. "He won 25 tournaments in America - I can't think of another Scot who has done that," he said. Mr Stuart described Scottish golf tourism as "amazing" with the best courses in the world. "Most of the tourists visit them, but you've also got lots of hidden gems and we like to think that we're one of those," he said. "So what we're trying to do is celebrate our unique selling point in Bobby Cruickshank. "Tourists can expect a true and immersive history lesson. And if they have never played with hickory clubs, it's great fun. "He played all his golf in America and he was a household name there. "We sometimes get Americans coming here just to see the home of Bobby Cruickshank and people here generally don't give a very good response because nobody is clued up on it yet - but we're aiming to change that. "He really is the forgotten golfer. He was one heck of a golfer. Bobby Cruickshank deserves his place in history."
