c.1923 Willie Park Golf Architect Advertising Brochure - Rare
This is a one-of-a-kind brochure that lists the courses designed by Willie Park Jr. from all over the world, Including the United States, Canada, Nova Scotia and Europe.
It includes courses he made, planned or remodeled.
Willie established a base in New York in 1916. Prior to 1900 he had made several short trips to the USA and then returned in 1916 until he went back to Scotland after 1923 when he became ill. . New York would become his base of operations.
Based on the design dates of the courses listed within we estimate this brochure was issued circa 1923.
Willie Park junior, winner of the Open in 1887 and 1889, was a prolific architect, laying out over 100 golf courses in the British Isles and Western Europe and over 40 courses in the US and 20 in Canada.
This is truly a unique item that makes an important addition to any golf architecture collection. Royal Montreal was designed in 1922 per Cornish and Whitten, thus brochure dates circa 1923.
