Considering
the fact that he was one of the greatest golf course architects in the
history of the game, Dr. Alister MacKenzie 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.
The Life and Work of Dr. Alister Mackenzie by Tom Doak, Dr. James Scott & Raymond Haddock, presented here, offers insight into these Mackenzie enigmas. This example is a coveted 2001 1st Edition copy that is in like new condition and comes with its original dust jacket.
