Book: The Evangelist Of Golf: The Story Of Charles Blair Macdonald Charles Blair Macdonald and his seminal achievement, the National Golf Links of America, in one fell swoop, inaugurated the evolution of golf course architecture in America. All of golf paused to marvel at Macdonald's magnificent creation."
--Ben Crenshaw, noted golf course historian and architect
Charles Blair Macdonald may very well be one of the most influential persons in American golf history. In this visually stunning book, author George Bahto presents a compelling look into Macdonald's, Seth Raynor's, and Charles Banks' work and includes an impressive array of rare vintage photographs, detailed course layouts, and sketches of many of their most highly regarded hole designs. In the tradition of recent architectural classics, "The Evangelist of Golf" joins "Discovering Donald Ross: The Architect and His Golf Courses" and "The Life and Work of Dr. Alister MacKenzie" to form a rare and beautiful triumvirate.
