Golf Architecture: Economy in Course Construction and Green-Keeping (Classic Reprint)

My partner, who is the author of these short essays on Golf Course A rchitecture, has asked me to write an introduction. This is, however, hardly necessary, as the name of Dr. Mackenzie is so well known in connection with this subject. Many years ago now the idea came to him, as to a few others, that it might not be impossible to create a golf course without doing damage to the natural attractions of the site. Up to that period the courses which had been designed by man, and not by nature, had in great measure failed in this direction, and although no doubt they had provided necessary opportunities for playing the game, the siuroundings in many cases proved a source of irritation rather than pleasure.
