Geoff Shackelfords The Golden Age of Golf Designis an insightful analysis of those revered courses and the talented men that designed them. The list of architects working during the Golden Age is a Whos Who of golf including Ross MacKenzie Tillinghast Crump Raynor and Wilson. Incredibly the layouts they built back then often with only bare hands and horses to do the work annually make up the majority of todays Top 100 Courses in America.
