First published in 1928, Macdonald's Scotland's Gift is arguably the most important book ever written on American golf. Macdonald elegantly 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's "Scotland's Gift" is arguably the most important book ever written on American golf...." -- Golf Chicago!, March 2003
From the Publisher
Few figures in the history of American golf loom so largely as Charles Blair Macdonald, the father of golf architecture and one of the chief builders of the United States Golf Association, the game’s governing body in the U.S. Macdonald, whose masterpieces include the National Golf Links of America, was a fierce purist who strove to preserve -- in America -- the spirit and dignity of the game known by its Scottish forebears.
This new edition of Scotland’s Gift, originally published in 1928, marks the first time in over 70 years that this classic work has been published for the general retail market. It includes over 60 illustrations, including some newly introduced vintage photos of the Chicago Golf Club and the Yale Golf Course which enrich this classic volume.
