| Annotation from Turfgrass History and Literature: Lawns, Sports, and Golf, by James B Beard, Harriet J. Beard and James C Beard: | "A reprinting of Dr. Alister Mackenzies classic 1920 book Golf Architecture - Economy In Course Construction And Green-Keeping. Included is an introduction by Robert Trent Jones and a commentary by Peter Thomson and Michael Wolveridge. It also contains a short 1932 article by Dr. Mackenzie titled Plans for the Ideal Golf Course and another article titled 'Hints on Green-keeping.' All the photographs have been replaced with different ones. It was a limited reprinting of 700 copies. Dr. Mackenzie stated some of his philosophy of golf architecture in 1920:
Never follow the advice of a golfer, however good a player he may be, unless he is broad minded enough to disregard his own game and recognise that not only has the beginner to be considered, but also that a very high standard of golf architecture improves everyone's play. Golf Course construction is a difficult art (like sculpture) and still in its infancy. Endeavor to make every feature indistinguishable from a natural one. Most courses have too many bunkers. They should be constructed mainly from a strategical and not from a penal point of view. Fiercely criticised holes often improve the standard of play and ultimately become most popular." p. 274 |
