The Dr. Alister Mackenzie Chronology (2018) The Dr. Alister MacKenzie Chronology th The 20 Revision October 2018 The MacKenzie Chronology Project The Project In the late 1990’s Nick Leefe and Bob Beck launched an effort to document the physical presence and movements of the great architect Dr. Alister MacKenzie. That effort sparked club secretaries, historians, architects, professional writers, enthusiasts – in short, a global community of MacKenzie admirers – to share their knowledge. This, the 20th Revision of “The Dr. Alister MacKenzie Chronology,” is the latest product of that collective and continuing generosity, and once again expands upon the previous revision. Why are MacKenzie’s whereabouts important? A timeline establishes a foundation of fact. Upon this foundation researchers can build their narratives of history. Without this fact base, large gaps in time appear, and speculation is the all too-common and unfortunate result - the quality of scholarship is impoverished. The ramifications can be significant - original design features and perhaps entire courses disappear or suffer disfiguration, writings are misunderstood or misinterpreted, attributions are missed or made improperly. As readers, as golfers, and as caretakers of the game of golf, we suffer.

A timeline establishes a foundation of fact. Upon this foundation researchers can build their narratives of history. Without this fact base, large gaps in time appear, and speculation is the all too common and as an unfortunate result - the quality of scholarship can be impoverished.

As readers, as golfers, and as caretakers of the game of golf, we collectively are the poorer. MacKenzie fairway bunkering at Cleethorphes 18th hole near Grimsby, England Courtesy: Neil Crafter A chronology is much more than a series of dry facts. To read this MacKenzie photographed at Cypress Point document is to know MacKenzie the designer whilst gaining an insight Club’s official opening on 19-20 September into the man. We are given the gift of seeing, in a single sweep of 1930 with, from left, Robert Hunter Jr, Norman MacBeth and Roger Lapham pages, MacKenzie’s global and decades-long pursuit of excellence in golf design - a pursuit that ended nearly 70 years ago, but whose ramifications and influence, improbably, continue down to our day. Further Research The process of compiling and continuing the research to update the MacKenzie Chronology has sparked two additional significant pieces of scholarship: * A detailed list of the golf courses MacKenzie designed, remodelled, or consulted to, and; * A bibliography of MacKenzie’s writings, both public writings in the form of newspapers, magazine articles and books, as well as private correspondence, plans, and reports. For a man who achieved such a rich and productive career, surprisingly few primary source documents are known to researchers. Some have been lost to fire, some to time. The authors therefore urge anyone with information on Dr. MacKenzie to contact them.

As we find more information about Dr MacKenzie’s activities it naturally becomes harder th to keep on finding more. In the case of this 20 Revision we have filled in some gaps in the chronology from the 19th Revision, but not as many as recent revisions, with nearly 50 new, revised or expanded entries. Once more, this 20th Revision has primarily concentrated on newspaper sources from Great Britain, with the British Newspaper Archive continuing to be a wonderful source for new information. Highlights of this revision include: * More information on MacKenzie’s time in the reserve military between the Boer War and World War I. * Additional information on his work in Manchester for the Reddish Vale Golf Club. * Information on MacKenzie and A.E. Turnell’s work for Sir George Sitwell on the Renishaw Park and Sitwell Park courses from the archives of Renishaw Hall, reproduced here for the first time with the kind permission of Mrs Alexandra Hayward. Plus additional newspaper entries for the Sitwell Park course and the controversy over its “freak” greens, see above right. * Information on a visit to MacKenzie’s new London Flying Club course by the famous golf writer and friend of MacKenzie, Bernard Darwin, who wrote about the visit in ‘Country Life’ in March 1920. * ‘Golf Monthly’ reported in December 1924 that the new Cavendish course at Buxton was “among twenty-five new courses and reconstructed courses which Dr. Mackenzie, the well known golf architect, has in hand at present.” showing how busy he was in this post-war period. * New information on a number of his golf course projects including Ravensworth, Valley Club, Sheffield & District, Dore & Totley and Chesterfield. * Additional information on MacKenzie’s time in Australia including the number of days spent at various courses and the fees charged. * A date, 29 May 1929, has been found for the iconic photograph of MacKenzie with his friend and fellow architect Max Behr, walking off the 1st tee on the Old Course at St Andrews, see lower right.

  • The Cultural and Ideological Significance of Representations of Boudica During the Reigns of Elizabeth I and James I
    EXETER UNIVERSITY AND UNIVERSITÉ D’ORLÉANS The Cultural and Ideological Significance Of Representations of Boudica During the reigns of Elizabeth I and James I. Submitted by Samantha FRENEE-HUTCHINS to the universities of Exeter and Orléans as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English, June 2009. This thesis is available for library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgment. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. ..................................... (signature) 2 Abstract in English: This study follows the trail of Boudica from her rediscovery in Classical texts by the humanist scholars of the fifteenth century to her didactic and nationalist representations by Italian, English, Welsh and Scottish historians such as Polydore Virgil, Hector Boece, Humphrey Llwyd, Raphael Holinshed, John Stow, William Camden, John Speed and Edmund Bolton. In the literary domain her story was appropriated under Elizabeth I and James I by poets and playwrights who included James Aske, Edmund Spenser, Ben Jonson, William Shakespeare, A. Gent and John Fletcher. As a political, religious and military figure in the middle of the first century AD this Celtic and regional queen of Norfolk is placed at the beginning of British history. In a gesture of revenge and despair she had united a great number of British tribes and opposed the Roman Empire in a tragic effort to obtain liberty for her family and her people.

  • Bobby Jones Envisions Augusta National Golf Club
    Bobby Jones Envisions Augusta National Golf Club Back in the day when American newspapers cost a nickel, and the price of Southern cotton was still noted at the top of the front page, Bobby Jones had an idea. What if he, and a group of other individuals, bought Berckmans' Place - near Augusta, Georgia - and turned this horticultural paradise of rolling hills, fruit trees and gorgeous flowers (like azaleas) into a stunningly beautiful golf course? What if they hired Dr. Alister MacKenzie - a world-famous course architect - to transform farm land into golf greens? While America was still gripped by the Great Depression, and the U.S. Federal Reserve was deciding whether to loan Germany additional funds (beyond the $100 million loan which was already outstanding), Jones and his colleagues moved forward with their plans. They had an option to purchase the land for about $200 an acre. (Had they waited a few years, it would have cost them even less.) With Bobby Jones heading the project, wealthy Americans contributed thousands of dollars. Although some had been hard-hit by the market crash - like Alfred Severn Bourne, of Singer Sewing Machine fame, who had lost $10,000,000 "almost overnight after the Crash" - other contributors had cash-on-hand for such a venture. The result of their efforts? Augusta National Golf Club which annually hosts "The Masters," one of golf's most prestigious events. The first Masters took place in 1934 (when it was called the "Augusta National Invitational"). Horton Smith won. To this day, the event still includes many amateurs (which was very important to Bobby Jones).

It exhibits the juris prudence, science, morals, and religion of nations, and while it •warns to shun their errors, holds forth their virtues for imitation in bold relief. But where is the history more interesting and important than that of our own, "our much loved native land," that abounds in incidents more romantic, or narrative more thrilling? Buta little more than two centuries have elapsed since the first band of the " Puritan Fathers" left their native home, crossed the wild Atlantic, landed on the snow-clad rock of Plymouth, and laid the first foundation stone of New England. Within this period a change has here taken place, and in our common counfry unparalleled in the history of mankind. A great and powerful nation has arisen.

  • 18Th Revision Mackenzie Chronology
    The Project Front and Back Cover Artwork by Thomas Naccarato In the late 1990’s Nick Leefe and Bob Beck launched an effort to document the physical presence and movements of the great architect Dr. Alister MacKenzie. That effort sparked club secretaries, historians, architects, professional writers, enthusiasts – in short, a global community of MacKenzie admirers – to share their knowledge. This, the 18th Revision of “The Dr. Alister MacKenzie Chronology,” is the latest product of that collective and continuing generosity, and once again expands considerably on the previous revision. Why are MacKenzie’s whereabouts important? A timeline establishes a foundation of fact. Upon this foundation researchers can build their narratives of history. Without this fact base, large gaps in time appear, and speculation is the all too-common and unfortunate result - the quality of scholarship is impoverished. The ramifications can be significant - original design features and perhaps entire courses disappear or suffer disfiguration, writings are misunderstood or misinterpreted, attributions are missed or made improperly. As readers, as golfers, and as caretakers of the game of golf, we suffer.
