27th November 1950 saw the death of the professional golfer and golf course designer James Braid.

James Braid is one of the finest golfers Scotland has ever produced, but he is all but forgotten nowadays, if he was born in the modern age he would be mentioned in the same breath as Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy and the likes.

Born in Earlsferry in Fife, Braid was a founder of the world’s first PGA and won the prestigious Open Championship an impressive five times.

He was a tall, powerful player who was well known for striking the ball with considerable venom, but he always maintained an appearance of outward calm.

Though Braid started his golfing life with putting problems, he pioneered the use of aluminium headed putters - and became lethal on the greens. He became one of a group of golfers (alongside JH Taylor and Harry Vardon) known as the ‘Great Triumvirate’ who dominated the game during the early 20th century.

With his vast experience of tournament play and his keen eye and understanding of design and construction, Braid was perfectly placed to move into golf architecture. He set the standard in golf course design that the rest of the world would follow.

Braid was a pioneer in his field and was renowned for the dog-leg angles of his courses, as well as the pot bunker. His legacy lives on in over 200 courses across Scotland and the UK. However, due to his dislike of travel, he designed only one course in the United States, and never actually visited the site in person.

To fully understand why James Braid is considered one of the finest golf course designers of all time, you simply have to see his work for yourself. From the stunning King’s and Queen’s courses at Gleneagles in Perthshire, to the last course with his stamp on it at Stranraer in Dumfries & Galloway, his legacy lives on.

27th November 1950 saw the death of the professional golfer and golf course designer James Braid.

Born at Earlsferry in the Kingdom of Fife  James Braid took up golf at an early age and played on the lovely links at Elie. 

A carpenter by trade, Braid turned his skilled hands to making and repairing clubs before leaving Scotland to begin club-making at a store in London. Seizing every spare moment to play the game he loved, he steadily improved and, when 26, accepted a job as the professional at Romford Golf Club on the outskirts of London.

As a golfer e won The Open Championship in 1901, 1905, 1906, 1908 and 1910. In addition, Braid won four British PGA Matchplay Championships (1903, 1905, 1907 and 1911), as well as the 1910 French Open title. He was also runner-up in The Open Championship in 1897, 1902, 1904, and 1909. His 1906 victory in The Open Championship was the last successful defence of the title by a European until Pádraig Harrington replicated the feat in 2008.  As well as the five Open wins he finished in the top five  a further 11 times! 

He also founded the Professional Golfers' Association and, in the midst of all his success, moved to Walton Heath, a new course to the south of London, where he remained the pro for more than 40 years until his death in 1950. While at Walton Heath, Braid found time to both write about golf and design or improve more than 200 courses throughout the U.K. Some such as Gleneagles, Carnoustie, Southport and Ainsdale, Boat of Garten and St. Enodoc are rightly famous, while others such as Aberdovey, Berkhamsted, North Hants and Goodwood are perhaps less well known, but still enjoyed nowadays by exponents of the sport.

As well as playing golf and designing courses James Braid also found time to write about it, he first articulated his philosophy in a book called "Advanced Golf," which was published in 1902. Two chapters are devoted to design and are quaintly entitled "The Planning of Course" and "The Character and Placing of Teeing Grounds, Bunkers and Putting Greens." Golf Guide,  The Ladies Field Golf Book  in 1908 and , How to Play Golf was in 1910.  There is also a book about all the courses Braid designed as an architect titled "James Braid and his 400 courses."

Bernard Darwin’s biography James Braid was published in 1952.  Darwin knew Braid for over fifty years and offers some keen insights into the man who is described as having “wisdom and a deep and essential kindness.” Regarding Braid’s ability to focus, Darwin describes him, “studying his putts as if the fate of empires depended on them,” even in casual rounds. 

Braid disliked travel overseas, very rarely left the British Isles, and never traveled outside Europe, hence no American titles. But he did design two 18-hole golf courses for the Singapore Island Country Club in Asia, using topographic maps to plan his layouts there, which were then constructed to his orders.

Courses in the pics are, in order, The King's course,Gleneagles, Nairn Golf Club, Brora Golf Club, where you have some interesting hazards to play around! Championship course, Carnoustie Golf Links and Craigmillar Park Golf Club.

James Braid died on this day 1950 in Kensington and is buried at Saint Peter's Church Walton-on-the-Hill, England, he was 80 years old.

There’s a list of Braids courses in the UK on the link below, with the prices it costs to play each course, although they may have risen since then, they start at just £10 a round
