In the mid-1990s, MacKenzie's lost golf manuscript, written a year before his death in 1933, was found and finally published as The Spirit of St. Andrews . Even all these years later, MacKenzie's thoughts on such topics as the golf swing, rules, great courses and holes, and golfers are interesting and intuitive., Alister MacKenzie, one of golf's greatest architects, shares with you his insight on great holes, the golf swing, technology and equipment, maintenance, and the USGA.

Written in an elegant style, it is filled with great stories of Hage, Sarazen, Jones, and other friends of MacKenzie., Alister MacKenzie, one of golf's greatest architects, designer of Augusta National-home of the Masters, Cypress Point, and Royal Melbourne, was the consulting architect for St. Andrews.
