Robert Reid started playing golf at an early age. By the time he was in college, he was the Inter-collegiate Golf Champion in 1937 and 1938.
In Saskatchewan golf history, Dr. Reid has the distinction of winning three major events: Saskatchewan Junior Golf Championship in 1934; Saskatchewan Amateur Golf Championship for five years (1936, 1941, 1946, 1950 and 1952) and the Saskatchewan Senior Golf Championship in 1973 and 1975.
Reid was a member of the Willingdon Cup team for six years between 1936 and 1955; a member of the Canadian Army Team overseas in 1945; and with scores of 75, 76, and 75, was the third lowest amateur in the 1952 Canadian Open.
