Tobin twins Adam, left, and Eric are seen attending the Masters at the Augusta National Golf Club.

“It was definitely more of an interest in hockey at the time,” said Eric. “My father was a diehard Leafs fan and hockey was always a big part of our younger years, so we were heading there to see the hockey players but then everything else kind of piqued our interest.” While attending college, the pair worked summers at the Algonquin Golf Course in St. Andrews, N.B., where Adam said many golfers did a double-take when they first met his brother then him.
When Eric was working at Bell Bay — where their golf journey began — the clubhouse was destroyed by fire in 2016 and Adam hosted a fundraising event at his club to help with the repairs.
