Notes From Elsewhere
Thomas Hodge, a young Cornishman down on his luck, but bursting with energy and talent, arrived at St Andrews in the 1850s to open a boarding school mainly for the children of Scottish adventurers far away working and fighting for the East India Company. His outstanding all-round athleticism and eagle eyesight made him a natural sportsman. Before long he was elected a member of the Royal and Ancient Golf Club and became a frequent medal winner. But, it was Hodge's compulsion and delight to take with him at all times his pencil, brushes and watercolours to picture his friends, who happened to be the giants of the game, in their golfing heaven. Over a period of forty years, Hodge drew and painted thousands of tiny portraits and miniature landscapes. He was known by all as "The Golf Artist of St Andrews". Old golfers admired his work and the gifts he made to them of it, because Hodge knew golf and its people intimately.
