George Ross
About
George Ross hailed from the same Scottish golfing lineage that produced legendary architects like Donald Ross, emphasizing the tradition of Scottish golfers advancing the game globally—a testament to Scotland's vital role in shaping golf’s history and its course architecture.
George Ross was a noted golf professional and course architect associated with the rich Scottish golfing tradition. Like many Scots of his generation, he was immersed in the game from a young age, and as a golf professional, he contributed to golf course development and the promotion of the game. Though overshadowed by the fame of Donald Ross, also Scottish-born, George Ross was recognized for his roles as a golf instructor and club professional, participating in foundational work in course design and golf instruction. His work included improvements to existing courses and involvement with golf communities, particularly in the United Kingdom and possibly the United States, during the early 1900s when golf was expanding rapidly.
