Golf Course Architect and Strategy Consultant with a focus on classic course design and history. Specializes in course management, architectural traps, and the heritage of major championship venues.
Alistair is a practicing golf course architect and historian with over two decades of experience designing and restoring courses. His deep understanding of design philosophy—from the Old Course at St. Andrews to the pristine layout of Augusta National—allows him to teach golfers how to think like an architect. He writes extensively on strategic course management, explaining why bunkers are placed where they are and how to navigate visual intimidation from the tee. Alistair also covers golf travel and the unique characteristics of links versus parkland golf, helping players save strokes through smarter decision-making rather than just swing changes.
