DOWNLOAD EBOOKAlister MacKenzie was one of golf's greatest architects. He designed his courses so that players of all skill levels could enjoy the game while still creating fantastic challenges for the most experienced players. Several of MacKenzie's courses, such as Augusta National, Cypress Point, and Pasatiempo, remain in the top 100 today. In his "lost" 1933 manuscript, published for the first time in 1995 and now finally available in paperback, MacKenzie leads you through the evolution of golf--from St. Andrews to the modern-day golf course--and shares his insight on great golf holes, the swing, technology and equipment, putting tips, the USGA, the Royal & Ancient, and more. With fascinating stories about Bobby Jones, Walter Hagen, Gene Sarazen, and many others, The Spirit of St. Andrews gives valuable lessons for all golfers as well as an intimate portrait of Alister MacKenzie, a true legend of the game.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe Art of Golf Design, by Michael Miller and Geoff Shackelford, is a stunning book. Miller is both a golf professional and landscape artist. Shackelford is both a golf historian and writer. Not surprisingly, both love the classic golf holes of the 1920s and ’30s. And that’s what this book is about. Many of Miller’s images take the reader back in time, often to when a classic hole at Pine Valley, Cypress Point or Pinehurst No.2 was in its earliest form. Shackelford, as historian, provides his insight on the architectural thinking that went into the creation of these classic holes.
