Famous Drawings and Sketches

[Edward Buchanan]

      Does anyone know of any way to obtain prints of the orginal drawings of some famous courses?  I have always wanted some drawings or sketches and have not had any luck finding them for sale.  Any options besides estate sales?  Perhaps I could recreate them if I knew of a good book or links to a high resolution photo.  Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Ditto cours construction plans. Are any architects willing to print up an extra set for somebody to hand on their wall at a "modest" price

I've had originals in my posession - each one has been donated back to the club or to the RCGA archives. I can't restore without these documents - if people keep them - then I can't do what I do.

If you purchase an original - I implore you to make a digital copy and share that with the USGA or RCGA - that is enough to make a difference to all of us.

Thanks,

Ian

Can you purchase digital copies of renderings from the USGA/RCGA/R & A? Or, is a visit required to handle the matter in person? Or, is it just not happening?

One of the versions of MacDonalds Scotland's gift had a fantastic rendering of NGLA by Edwin Raisz which folded out to about 2 ft. The most recent publicized version does not. It looks great framed. I would search ebay or other places for that.

You can get a copy of Mackenzie's map of St. Andrews from either the St. Andrews Trust web site or thru Auchterlonies.

Royal Dornoch has a pretty good routing map also on their web site.

The club histiory of Desert Forest - which you can procure from the club - has a great routing map done by our own Forrets Richardson.

You can get a copy of the Pinehurst map from one the golf collectibel store in the village.

You can always check eBay, but that gets expensive.

The Tufts Archives in Pinehurst has alot of Donald Ross plans. You will have to pay for the copies and agree to not use them for any commerical purpose.
