Udo Machat designs, photographs and writes books about the game of golf.
Born and raised in Vienna, he came to North America in 1957. His education began in his native Austria, with High School and Art College in Toronto, then some additional concept and design courses at Art Center in Pasadena.
Machat became a sought-after independent designer/writer, solving problems for advertising agencies in Southern California. On one of those assignments at The Vintage Club in Indian Wells, he was introduced to Ely Callaway who had just bought a small golf club manufacturing company.
A relationship of fifteen years ensued, and only ended when Mr. Callaway passed away a few years ago. During that time Machat produced most of the printed materials, print ads, and some tv concepts for the billion dollar corporation called Callaway Golf.
More importantly though, the allure of golf had infected his mind, and he started designing and publishing books on the subject of golf.
Among the books published by Machat are:
Tom Fazio's Golf,
The Golf Courses of the Monterey Peninsula,
The Vintage Club,
Poppy Hills Golf Course,
The Golf Ball Book, and now
Golf Courses of the High Sierra
He lives, with his cat Hooshie, in Peoria, Arizona.

Terrific Book On Monterey Courses,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Golf Courses of the Monterey Peninsula (Hardcover)
If you have ever been to the Monterey Peninsula and played just even one or two of the famous courses there, this book will be that stimulus to allow you to relive those rounds or to think ahead to new ones on those most famous (and exclusive) courses.Nearly every hole at Pebble Beach, Spyglass Hill and Cypress Point are pictured and a good amount of the holes at Poppy Hills, Monterey Pennisula CC, Spanish Bay and Pacific Grove are included as well. You can practically feel the damp and crisp morning air or hear the seals barking offshore through the pine forests as you flip through the pages of this book. If ever there was a great bedtime book for golfers who want to have pleasant dreams about one of the world's best (if not the best) golfing venues, this would be that book.
