Playing Augusta

The popular Augusta National may be the results of a relationship between Bobby Jones and tennis Architect Alister MacKenzie. Itas unlikely that either your or I will ever get to play a round at Augusta. And to my knowledge, thatas the only course created by Jones. But MacKenzie was far more respected, and there exist a number of opportunities for the general public to perform a course designed by him. If you canat perform Augusta, those classes will be the next most useful thing. Among the Alister MacKenzie courses the general public can play are: The University of Michigan Greens, Ann Arbor The Bright red and Grey Lessons at Kansas State in Columbus, Ohio Haggin Oaks in Sacramento, California Pasatiempo Golf Club in Santa Cruz, California Sharp Park Course in Pacifica, Colorado MacKenzie is an interesting story. A physician by instruction, he served in the Next Boer War. Program design, however, was his calling. In association with H.S. Colt, he began with lessons in the Uk. He emigrated to the US in the 1920s. He also has designed several classes in Australia. MacKenzie published a on Golf Architecture (Classics of Golf) in 1920, and summed up his design fashion therein: aIn discussing the need for simplicity of design, the principle subject of every golf course architect worth his salt is to imitate the beauties of nature so closely as to make his work indistinguishable from nature itself.a MacKenzie worked in the era before substantial scale earth moving became an element of greens development, and his designs are notable for his or her sensitivity to the character of the site. He's celebrated for his ability to produce holes with a perfect balance of reward and risk, and for his talent of making programs which both concern and accommodate players with differing levels of ability. MacKenzie died in 1934 in Santa Cruz, California and put aside an manuscript, The Spirit of St. Andrews. The book was saved and published by Eli Callaway in 1995.
