A rare color postcard featuring a full length photograph of Tom Morris – titled “Old Tom”.  This postcard is from the  “National Series” published by Millar & Lang and was produced in the early 1900s, shortly before Tom’s death in 1908. 

In the background is the R&A Clubhouse at St. Andrews.  The path you see behind Tom is an early 1900s view of Grannie Clark’s Wynd.  This particular card  is used and was posted in 1909. One of only a few postcards produced of Old Tom Morris in color during his lifetime.
