The Augusta National Golf Club: Alister MacKenzie's Masterpiece
Alister MacKenzie's Masterpiece
Stan Byrdy, A. MacKenzie
Doctor of medicine and World War II camouflage expert, Alister MacKenzie later came to design golf courses, which he transformed into an art form. Drawing upon his military background, MacKenzie incorporated design features seamlessly with the natural lay of the land. In 1931, MacKenzie teamed with golf legend Bobby Jones to design the game's ultimate test, the Augusta National Golf Club. Working together, they created a design so ingenious that it continues to be one of the world's most intriguing and challenging courses more than 75 years later. MacKenzie and Jones's design concepts are coupled with rare photos and early illustrations of the Augusta National Golf Club to give the reader a unique look at MacKenzie's "masterpiece" and the most memorable moments on its holes from the Masters competitions.
