He trained under James Anderson in Anstruther and Robert White in St Andrews and opened his first forge and shop in 1890. He visited America in 1897-8 to take a look at drop-forging methods but felt sure that hand-forging produced a better product. Recognised as one of the finest craftsmen of his era, his early heads can be identified by the cleek mark of a fern. Later heads usually carried his name and the more famous cleek mark of a rose which this version does both He brought a case in 1912 against a retired Blebo Craigs publican who, he claimed, hit him with a gun such that his injuries prevented him cycling from his home in Blebo Craigs and having to board in St Andrews for 10 shillings a week. Also on account of the injuries he had been unable to attend the Open Championship of 1911 and was a further £50 out of pocket. Ultimately he won the case and received £40 damages. The company became Robert Condie & Sons and continued using the old hand-forging techniques into the 1930s though Robert died, from complications after having his appendix removed, in 1923. In February 1934 a new limited company, Robert Condie & Co, was formed with share capital of £1000. Back Club Head Marking: "R.
