In the passage Jones said : G olf has been c a lle d "the most human o f games" and a "re­ flection of life." One reason that we enjoy it and that it challenges us is that it enables us to run the entire gamut of human emotions, not only in a brief space of time, but likew ise w ithout measurable damage e ith e r to ourselves or to o th e rs. On the golf course, a man may be the dogged victim of inexorable fate, be struck down by an appalling stroke of tragedy, become the hero of unbelievable melodrama, or the clown in a side-splitting comedy—any of these within a few hours, and all without having to bury a corpse or repair a tangled personality.

  • 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.
