Carnegie Clark began as a caddy and clubmaker in Scotland. In 1902, aged 21, he came to Sydney and worked at Holdsworth, Macpherson & Co. sports store. In 1904, he became a professional at Royal Sydney Golf Club where he remained for 26 years before switching to Avondale Golf Club.

Clark became something of a sporting celebrity, winning the Australian Open in 1906, 1910 and 1911. In 1924, he took out the lucrative Sun £500 tournament, the first 'big money' event in Australia. He designed many golf courses and, in partnership with Dan Soutar, introduced the large scale manufacture of golf clubs in Australia with his Rose Bay workshop.
