| Abstract/Contents: | Overviews Charles Hugh Alison's contributions to golf course architecture. Provides his background regarding his upbringing, schooling, and when he entered the golf industry. Mentions that "the pre-war British golf scene was a small family, and thus it isn't surprising that a sportsman of Alison's calibre was able to parlay his expertise into a career in the nascent golf industry." Explains that Alison was appointed secretary of the Stoke Poges Club in 1908 under the guidance of Harry Colt. Notes that Alison contributed to a number of Colt's pre-war courses. Lists locations Alison is believed to have worked prior, during, and after the war. Includes that he followed Colt to America and stayed there for nine years, where he designed more than twenty courses. States that his most influential work was seen in Japan and discusses his stay there. Highlights various courses he built throughout Asia, Canada, the United States, Morocco, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa. |
