Abstract/Contents:Profiles golf course architect Charles Hugh Alison's visit to Japan, highlighting the way he melded the "philosophy of architecture born on the natural links of Britain... perfectly with a Japanese aesthetic to produce an enduring legacy." Describes the "dawn of golf" in Japan, including the introduction of the sport to Mt. Rokko and the subsequent opening of the Kobe Golf Club in 1903. Notes Alison's construction of the Tokyo Golf Club, the Oshima course, the Fuji course, and later projects. States that "all of Alison's design tendencies...had a profound effect on Japanese golf architecture, but perhaps his most important contribution involved his recognition of the craftsmanship and aesthetics of Japan." Briefly mentions the effects Japan's countryside had on Alison's later designs.
