The Devil grasps a hold of golf ball maker Allan Robertson ?
Most feather golf ball makers realizing that their livelihood was in danger, sold off large quantities of their feathery golf ball inventory to their major clients, and immediately turned their attention to developing and producing the new golf clubs that would be required by the players using the new gutta percha golf balls. However, there were those that were less pragmatic, such as young Tom Morris’s partner, Alan Robertson, who derided the new "high tech"golf ball and was vehement in his support of the classic feather stuffed ball. Robertson at one point in time, purchased as many gutta percha golf balls as he could, and set them ablaze in a bid to stop the balls from reaching his customers.
