 James Braid (physician) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
James Braid (1795 – March 25, 1860) was a Scottish neurosurgeon who coined the term and invented the procedure known as hypnotism.
Braid regarded the physiological condition underlying hypnotism to be the over-exercising of the eye muscles through the straining of attention.
In 1997 Baird’s part in developing hypnosis for therapeutic purposes was acknowledged by the creation of the James Braid Society, a discussion group for those “involved or concerned in the ethical uses of hypnosis.” The society meets once a month in central London, usually for a presentation on some aspect of hypnotherapy.

 BBC - A Sporting Nation - James Braid
James Braid was now firmly established as a leading professional golfer, but unlike his contemporaries, Braid rarely competed outside the United Kingdom.
Ironically for a man who lived and worked in England, Braid's successes had all come in Scotland, so it was no surprise that he was one of the favourites for the 1910 tournament at St Andrews, just a few miles from his birthplace, down the Fife coast at Earlsferry.
As Braid set out on his opening round conditions were calm, but as so often happens at a links venue, the weather changed rapidly and by the time Braid reached the 13th with greens flooding, the committee had taken the decision to abandon play and begin the tournament again the following morning.

He was described as hitting 'with divine fury' and if he was sometimes erratic he was also blessed with tremendous powers of recovery, particularly from bunkers.
Braid, was also responsible for the reshaping of the bunkers on the 4th and 10th holes at Prestwick for the 1908 Open Championship, which he went on the win.

Braid’s influence on golf continues today through the legacy of more than 200 courses—most located in the British Isles—of his design.
Braid understood that inland courses (often sub-categorized as "parkland", "heathland", and "moorland") were inheritantly different than coastal links courses.
Braid’s hand improved the fine inland course at Crieff, Central Scotland, the excellent links at Nairn in Northern Scotland and three legendary Scottish linkses that have hosted many British Opens over the years: Carnoustie in Central Scotland, and Royal Troon and Prestwick on the Ayrshire coast south of Glasgow.
