Alister MacKenzie’s seminal publication. Pre-order now — available August 30th. https://t.co/lfXbD1MYMT

[Alister MacKenzie Institute @DoctorMacKenzie]

The Alister MacKenzie Institute is pleased to announce our newest publication, a Limited Edition reproduction of Dr. MacKenzie’s first book Golf Architecture: Economy in Course Construction and Green-keeping, published in 1920. Original copies of Golf Architecture are extremely rare, so we’d like to give MacKenzie fans the opportunity to own an authentic reproduction (not a facsimile).

Never before has this seminal book by Golf’s preeminent architect been authentically reproduced. We have undertaken a meticulous process of recreating this book in its original form as precisely as possible, using the highest quality materials and production methodologies. From manually typesetting the entirety of the manuscript, to high-resolution image reproduction, to paper sourcing — no stone has been left unturned in our effort to create a reproduction that Dr. MacKenzie would be proud of.

A limited production of 1,000 copies, complete with elegant slipcase and commemorative Letterpress card, will be released August 30th, and is available now for pre-order [LINK IN BIO]. We hope you all will enjoy this unique publication as much as we’ve enjoyed creating it.

@garrett_TFE @DoctorMacKenzie Best nugget on the pod was that Jones was humble enough to know he needed a professional.

I somehow learn a ton more about Augusta National every year, even when I think I've know all there is to know. A big part of that this year was from @garrett_TFE's podcast with @DoctorMacKenzie

@joemmcdonne11 @TheMasters These interesting images are from @DoctorMacKenzie

[Society of Golf Historians @SHistorians]

There are a ton of vintage images of ANGC, but this one is one of my favorites. In color, it’s slightly easier to make out the golf holes, the mowing lines and the bunkers of the original MacKenzie/Jones design.

This should be framed in the #Golffice.

Have a great @TheMasters

[Garrett Morrison @garrett_TFE]

Loved this chat with Josh Pettit, aka @DoctorMacKenzie, about the history of Augusta National's design. A well-trodden topic, but I learned a lot I didn't know!
