Шаблон:Tone Шаблон:EngvarB Шаблон:Use dmy dates Daniel Gordon Soutar (3 December 1882 – 30 November 1937[1][2]) was an Australian professional golfer. He pioneered professional golf in Australia, bringing his Scottish work ethic and all-round skills to influence the game as a whole from teaching and playing, to clubmaking and course design.[3]
Writings
In 1906, Soutar wrote The Australian Golfer in which he described the country's best golfers and golf courses, his teaching methods and much more. Jack Pollard, writing in his 1990 book Australian Golf - the Game and the Players, describes the photographs of Soutar swinging in The Australian Golfer: "Soutar had a long, sweeping swing, his supple wrists enabling him to take the club a long way back over his left shoulder before he hit the ball freely and gave it a full follow through. There was no jerk or hindrance in his swing and body turn, just a lovely free-flowing movement of the club. He was tall and fit, and usually wore a peaked cap or tam o’shanter."[3]
