Alister MacKenzie, one of the greatest golf course architects in history designed only one seaside public course, Sharp Park in San Francisco. Opened in 1932, the course’s closure is being threatened by the City of San Francisco.

Along with his final design, Augusta National Golf Club, other famous courses designed by MacKenzie include Royal Melbourne Golf Club (Melbourne, Australia), Pasatiempo Golf Club (Santa Cruz, California), Crystal Downs Country Club (Frankfort, Michigan), and Lahinch Golf Course (Lahinch, Ireland).
In the full interview for Premium Access subscribers, Bo shares more on the history of San Francisco golf in the 1930s, the 5th Annual Charity Tournament to Save Sharp Park on June 4, 2016, MacKenzie designs, the concerns of environmentalists, and his book, Follow the Wind.
