The unknown Mackenzie and Ross collaboration
« on: January 12, 2005, 02:29:03 AM »
I was amused to learn that the Ailsa course at Turnberry was the "combined effort of Alister MacKenzie , Donald Ross and nature..." . I found this enlightening quote  ::) in Fairways and Greens 8/04. I guess the writer hadn't heard of Mackenzie Ross and assumed it was the two big dogs.

They also collaborated on Southerness.  This must be the golf scoop of the century!

Perhaps Phillip MacKenzie Ross, himself, was the result of an unholy collaboration.

Of course, there is one legitimate Mackenzie/Ross course -- St. Charles in Winnipeg. That the two architects were never there at the same time shouldn't stand in the way of a good story....
