Michael Bonallack OBE, then Secretary to The Royal and Ancient Golf Club, presented the inaugural powered wheelchair to Crawford Welch outside the world famous clubhouse and under the plaque of Old Tom Morris. The powered wheelchair was generously donated by Sunrise Medical.

KOTG regularly has golf events both in Scotland and the USA. This site will soon include an events and outings page for the latest news.

A big day for the Keepers of the Green came at the 2004 Open Championship at Royal Troon, where HRH Prince Andrew, Captain of the Royal and Ancient Golf Club, met with Friends of Keepers, many of whom had received powered mobility through the KOTG Foundation.

To promote the heritage and traditions of the game of golf, Keepers of the Green was set up as the first ever golfing tribute to Old Tom Morris, who made such an outstanding contribution through all the dramatic changes in the evolution of the game during his lifetime.

Known latterly as "The Grand Old Man of Golf", it is fitting that Tom Morris should be the figurehead of this unique Golfing Fellowship.
