Charles Blair Macdonald learned the game at St Andrews, built Chicago Golf Club and then, in 1911, the National Golf Links of America, a course made of versions of the great British holes. With Seth Raynor he spread these templates across the country. A Macdonald course is a lesson in strategy borrowed from St Andrews, Prestwick and North Berwick.
