Life And Work Of Dr Alister MacKenzie

A new biography on one of golf's most eccentric, interesting, brilliant, colorful and sometime sad characters. Considering the fact that Alister MacKenzie was one of the greatest golf course architects in the history of the game, he has long been something of a puzzle if not a mystery. He liked to wear kilts, but he wasn't a Scotsman. He graduated from medical school, but he never made a living at it. He designed spectacular courses, but he was not a good golfer. At the height of his career he was one of the most sought after designers in the world, but he was nearly broke when he died. Detailed text with four color photos and vintage maps, drawings and pictures bring together many pieces of the puzzle. Golfers, golf historians and students of golf course architecture will learn a lot from this interesting new biography.
