Alister MacKenzie's Golf Architecture

Rare First Edition

        This is a very rare 1920 First Edition of Alister MacKenzie's Golf Architecture: Economy in Course Construction and Green Keeping. It has been said that this very book led Bobby Jones to choose MacKenzie to design his dream golf course in the early 1930's, Augusta National Golf Club. Bobby Jones was said to completely agree with the quirky MacKenzie's beliefs on golf course architecture after reading this book and after playing Mackenzie's other jewel, Cypress Point.

        This is certainly one of the finest golf course architecture books in existence. It is valued at $1,250 in the 2006 Gilchrist's Guide to Golf Collectibles.
