This book's reputation as a masterpiece rests on its brilliant treatment of golf course architecture, but equally intriguing is its depiction of life in the celebrated golf town, St. Andrews, Scotland. Macdonald learned the game at St. Andrews, and was forever influenced by the 1,000-year-old course. Scotland's Gift also chronicles Macdonald's career as the designer of important courses like The National Golf Links of America and the two courses of the Chicago Golf Club. The book closes with an insightful afterward by Alistair Cooke.

First published in 1928, Charles Blair Macdonald's Scotland's Gift is arguably the most important book ever written on early American golf. Macdonald, known as the father of golf course architecture, nearly single-handedly elevated American golf to world-class status when he built his masterpiece, National Golf Links of America on Long Island. Macdonald, instrumental in the rise of American golf, chronicles how golf grew from being a little-known Scottish oddity with a mere handful of American courses in 1890 and spread like wild fire to some 4,000 courses by 1927. Macdonald captures the drama surrounding the U.S.G.A.'s early days, and how it unified a game once on the perilous verge of splintering into myriad forms and factions. This classic volume is also a seminal work on golf course design. Macdonald shares his theories on golf course architecture, and how he successfully -- though amid great controversy -- transplanted classic holes of the British Isles to American soil. Macdonald also details the creations of the National Golf Links of America as well as his other masterstrokes including Yale University, Chicago Golf Club and Mid Ocean in Bermuda.

Scotland's Gift, Golf is a masterpiece of early golf literature, written by the Father of American Golf Course Architecture, C.B. Macdonald.

Golf is a Scottish game. It has been played by the Scots for centuries, and Scotland is its spiritual and cultural home. This is a book devoted to one nation's devotion to a game of stick and ball which today casts its enchantment over the entire world. The beginnings of golf and its early development are shrouded in mystery and are part fact and part fable. The Scottish Golf Book separates one from the other as it traces the early history of golf to the multimillion-dollar, worldwide obsession it has become today. Images from the earliest days of Scottish photography recall titanic battles between the early superstars of the game, while the modern lens takes the reader on a spectacular and magical journey around the historic, the classic, and the hidden treasures of Scotland's finest courses.

Excerpt from The Book of Golf and Golfers It may be said that there is too much of England and too little of Scotland in this book of Scotland's national game that it is mainly English, whereas it should be mainly Scotch - only one Scotsman, indeed, bearing a hand in it, and his handiwork dealing with American, rather than British, golf. But this is surely rather narrow criticism. We of England are very ready to subscribe ourselves British rather than English, embracing Scotland with a good heart - we are all grateful to Scotland for giving us her game; we have no national jealousy in the matter. Why should she Has she We believe not. It is not Scotsmen, but only those who take on themselves, with little right, to speak for Scotsmen that would claim it for her.
