17Th Revision Mackenzie Timeline Drawing by Cathy Trachok Royal Adelaide Golf Club plan 1926 with permission The Dr. Alister MacKenzie Chronology The 17th Revision March 2013 Chronology Dr. MacKenzie at the Jockey Club in Buenos Aires, Rare dustwrapper of MacKenzie’s 1920 book 15th green at the Cypress Point Club Argentina, with Club President Mr. Eduardo Bullrich in April 1930 Photo courtesy: Pedro Cossio The Goal 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 17th Revision of “The Dr. Alister MacKenzie Chronology,” is the latest product of that collective and continuing generosity, and further expands 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.

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 whilst gaining an insight into the man.

A pursuit that ended nearly 70 years ago, but whose ramifications and influence, improbably, continue down to our day. Next Steps 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.

This revision continues the effort and narrows the gaps in the chronology again from the 16th Revision, with over 360 new and revised / expanded entries. Some of the highlights include: * MacKenzie’s school records at Wakefield Grammar School 1884-1888 and further information on his medical studies at Cambridge. th * Detailed information on the 4 Somerset Light Infantry to which MacKenzie was attached as a Civil Surgeon in the Boer War, along with a fascinating report of him in East London, South Africa, attempting to rescue a drowning man in the surf in January 1901. * MacKenzie’s visit to Australia in late 1902, probably traveling as a ship’s doctor, and helps his distant relative David Maxwell extend the Flinders GC in Victoria from 4 to 18 holes according to the oral history of Eric Lucas and his family. * Information on pre-WW1 courses including Sitwell Park, Harrogate, Halifax, South Shields, Pannal, Fulford, Warrington, Leeds Municipal (Roundhay Park) and Whitley Bay. * From the Imperial War Museum we have obtained a history of the Camouflage School by Lt. Adrian Klein, which adds great detail to MacKenzie’s involvement in the establishment and ongoing operations of the school during WW1, including a photograph of MacKenzie with fellow officers from the school. * Information on post-WW1 courses including Bradford, Bramhall, Cleckheaton, Dinsdale Spa, Bramall Park, Bristol & Clifton, South Beds, Bruntsfield Links, South Leeds, Pitreavie, Teignmouth, Bridlington, Dulwich & Sydenham Hill, Temple Newsam Municipal, Duddingston, Cavendish, Moor Allerton, Thames G&CC, Bolton Old Links, Blackpool Stanley Park, Cork, Grimsby & Cleethorpes, Willingdon, Low Laithes, Monkstown and Sand Moor. * May 1926 visit to Britain by MacKenzie’s US partner Robert Hunter. * Council minutes from Royal Melbourne detailing their correspondence with MacKenzie, and minutes from Royal Troon on Mackenzie’s reconstruction of their New course, now known as the Portland. * Information on post-1926 courses including Limerick, Ohio State, Union League, St. Charles, Pasatiempo, Palmetto, Bayside and the Lachman Approach & Putt course in San Francisco. * Photographs of MacKenzie at the Jockey Club in Buenos Aires in April 1930 and annual reports detailing the development of the 2 new courses. * Striking front and back cover artwork by Tom Naccarato. th We sincerely hope that you find our 17 Revision of interest.

  • 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).

SURVEY FORMATTED (DO NOT DELETE) 5/7/2013 2:37 PM SURVEY 2012 ANNUAL SURVEY: RECENT DEVELOPMENTS IN SPORTS LAW INTRODUCTION This survey discusses sports-related cases decided by the courts between January 1, 2012, and December 31, 2012. Not every sports-related case decided in 2012 is included in this survey. Instead, this survey briefly summarizes a wide range of cases that impacted the sports industry in 2012. This survey intends to give the reader an insight into the growing industry of sports-related legal issues and to highlight the most recent developments in sports law. To better assist the reader, this survey is arranged alphabetically by the specific substantive area of law associated with each sports law case. ADMINISTRATIVE LAW Administrative law covers the actions of the federal, state, and local governments, such as adjudicating, rulemaking, and regulatory enforcement. Sports law cases rarely involve administrative law, but one occurred in 2012. Salt Lake City Corp. v. Jordan River Restoration Network1 This conflict arose when the Jordan River Restoration Network opposed Salt Lake City’s efforts to validate municipal bonds to finance the construction of a regional sports complex.
