Description

The ideal golf architect combines the soul of an artist, the brain of an engineer; and the heart of o golfer. MacKenzie is the designer of three of the world's top courses- Royal Melbourne in Australia, Cypress Point in California, and Augusta National in Georgia. From the essential features of an ideal golf course to the philosophy behind including hazards, this reproduction of MacKenzie's 1920 classic reveals his wide-ranging knowledge of the game.
