To supplement his income, MacAndrew gave golf lessons and helped in constructing golf courses, saving money to pay for the passage of his wife and children to the U.S. from Scotland. There was a wave of popularity of golf in the U.S. about this time which fueled demand for golf course construction, and MacAndrew's timing could not have been better. He developed a reputation as golf course designer and golf instructor, quit golf club manufacture, and became the golf pro at various country clubs. He competed in the U.S. Open Championship in 1904. Each of his four sons became a professional golfers at various country clubs in the United States. (en)
