The Anatomy of a Golf Course
A key book for the golfer's library, exploring the intricacies of golf architecture--and how this knowledge can improve your golf game.
The Life and Work of Dr. Alister MacKenzie
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.

Fairways and greens were derived from the naturally occurring areas of short grass found among the coastal dunes of Scotland. The original sand traps were areas of bare sand that can be found scattered throughout any dune landscape.
