Over a career spanning the early 1900s to the late 1940s, no golf course architect designed more celebrated layouts-- or earned greater reverence-- than Donald J. Ross. Born in Dornoch in 1872, Ross honed his craft under Old Tom Morris in St Andrews before emigrating to the United States. Though widely known, Ross's enduring impact on the game is often under-appreciated.25 years ago, Bradley S. Klein published Discovering Donald Ross, and it quickly became the definitive and authoritative book on the subject. This award-winning biography-- recipient of the Herbert Warren Wind Book Award-- offers a compelling introduction to his life, work, and legacy, along with a postscript exploring the modern revival of classic course design.In this significantly updated and expanded anniversary edition, Klein delivers a richly detailed portrait of this influential figure, illustrated with rare drawings, maps, and photographs from many of Ross's best known courses.With new photos, updated text, and new chapters on recent restorations and renovations, Re-Discovering Donald Ross will continue to be the most definitive book for generations to come.
