Editorial Review

The Spirit of St. Andrews
- Book Review, by A. MacKenzie, Alister MacKenzie

Amazon.com
In 1933 Alister MacKenzie put on paper his considerable golfing knowledge. One of the game's most revered course designers--he conceived Augusta National, site of the Masters, and served the hallowed links of St. Andrews for years as consulting architect--MacKenzie synthesized his thoughts on golf's history, its equipment, its personalities, and his musings on what makes a great course and what makes a great hole, into a manuscript that lay hidden for more than 60 years. Finally available, it stands as one of the most courtly and cultivated treatises ever written on the royal and ancient game. His concepts of the psychology of design are as apt today as when he penned them, and his anecdotal spinnings on his own golfing trials should inspire anyone who's thought of picking up a club.

Spirit of St. Andrews

FROM THE PUBLISHER

Alister MacKenzie, one of golf's greatest architects, shares with you his insight on great holes, the golf swing, technology and equipment, maintenance, and the USGA. Truly a "lost" manuscript, 'The Spirit of St. Andrews' was written in 1933 and never published. Written in an elegant style, it is filled with great stories of Hage, Sarazen, Jones, and other friends of MacKenzie.
