That effort sparked club secretaries, historians, architects, professional writers, enthusiasts – in short, a global community of MacKenzie admirers – to share their knowledge. This, the 15th edition of “The MacKenzie Chronology,” is the latest product of that collective and continuing generosity. Photo of a green site at Melrose Country London Flying Club Club a collaboration of Maxwell and Circa 1920 MacKenzie courtesy of Neil Crafter The Dr. Alister MacKenzie Chronology The 15th 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 is more than a series of dry facts. To read this timeline is to know MacKenzie the designer, and yet gain a window into the man. With this timeline, we are given the gift of seeing, in a single sweep of pages, MacKenzie’s global, decades-long pursuit of excellence in design. A pursuit that ended over 70 years ago, but whose ramifications and influence, improbably, continue down to our day. Weston-super-Mare Valley Club of Montecito From an article written by Postcard early 1930’s Dr. MacKenzie Circa 1922 The Dr. Alister MacKenzie Chronology The 15th Revision The 15th Revision This revision continues the effort and narrows the gaps in chronology. Surprisingly, the true number of golf courses MacKenzie worked on or advised upon during his career is not known definitively. And so the authors hope this revision, like the prior editions, will spur additional research and lead many more to come forth with information unknown to the golfing world. Next Steps: The process of compiling and continuing the research to update a MacKenzie Chronology has sparked two additional “foundational” pieces of scholarship: * A detailed list of the golf courses MacKenzie designed,revised, or consulted to; and * A bibliography of MacKenzie’s writings, both public writings such as newspaper and 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 MacKenzie to contact them.

  • 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).
