Ramsay McMaster, recognised as one of the leading authorities in the world on golf specific physiotherapy, died suddenly on December 29 at the age of 49.
In a career spanning more than 20 years Ramsay worked with thousands of golfers to better prepare their bodies for golf.
Elite professional players, aspiring amateur golfers and players seeking advice and rehabilitation from golf injuries sought the advice of Ramsay and his team of expert physiotherapists, myotherapists and fitness trainers at the world renowned Melbourne Golf Injury Clinic.
His love for the game of golf originated in the land of his birth, Scotland. His passion for the game was easily identified at an early age when he played 81 holes in one day at his home club of Bridge of Allan at the age of 14 years.
His passion for the sport continued when he migrated to Australia and established the world’s first golf injury clinic in the city of Melbourne.
Rob Hillman, The European Tour’s Director of Physiotherapy, said: “Everyone at The European Tour is deeply saddened to learn of the sudden passing of Ramsay last week. Ramsay was well known to the members of the European Tour Physiotherapy Unit, with whom he collaborated on numerous occasions over the past ten years. All of us enjoyed his vibrancy, enthusiasm and expertise when working to improve physical performance in golf at the very highest level.
“Many European Tour members enjoyed the benefit of his knowledge and passion and few will forget his infamous training sessions on the sand dunes. Ramsay was liked by all and will be greatly missed by all that knew him. Our thoughts and prayers are with his wife, Caroline and children Zander and Edie at this very difficult time.”
