GREATEST OF GOLF DYNASTIES

The Robertson, Morris and Anderson Families and My Life in Golf I’m Very Proud of My Golfing Ancestors. My Grandmother Margaret Alexander Anderson is My Link GREATEST OF GOLF DYNASTIES That is the way St. Andrew’s golf historian Roger McStravick describes the three golfing clans of Robertson, Morris and Anderson.
