1924 Alister Mackenzie St. Andrews Original Old Course Map
Here is a 1924 Old Course of St Andrews map lithograph is surveyed and depicted by the great Alister MacKenzie and colored by McCorquedale Co. of Glasgow, London - as written in the bottom right corner below.
St Andrews' golf traces back to the mid-15th century, joining the Open Championship rotation of courses in 1873 when the victor native Tom Kidd won a mere 11 pounds - like his contemporaries, playing with heightened appreciation of the game and for his pride.
This colored lithograph routinely commands heightened bidder attention. Each of MacKenzie's 18 holes are listed with their name and 1924 measurement in the top left corner of this composition including the no. 17 road hole. A wide range of value dances throughout this map that is outfitted with a compass and scale on the left side of the landscape orientated piece. "Copyright-W.C. Henderson & Son, Ltd., University Press, St. Andrews." is printed in the bottom left corner in jet black. This masterful depiction from the elite design mind of Alister MacKenzie is deserving of an established golf collection, possibly with a focus in architecture.
