John Burns (7 January 1859[1] – 18 December 1927[2]), a native ofSt Andrews, was aScottish professionalgolfer for part of his life.

Early life

[edit]

Burns, the son of an Irish labourer, and started earning his living as aplasterer. However, there is reference to him being a professional golfer in the minutes of the St Andrews Golf Club in October 1885.[3]

Professional career

[edit]

In 1887, Burns moved toWarwick,England to become the golf professional and greenskeeper at the newly formed Warwickshire Golf Club (now known asWarwick Golf Centre), the first golf club inWarwickshire. Burns returned to Scotland in October 1888 to become the winner of theOpen Championship, which was held at theOld Course at St Andrews.[4] The £8 prize of hismajor championship title accomplishment did not make him a fortune. He returned to his job in Warwick and was involved in the creation of the neighbouring golf course inKenilworth in 1890.[5]

He moved back to St Andrews in 1891 to work on the railways, but he carried on caddying. When he died in 1927, his profession was listed as aplasterer again.[2]
