Vern Morcom was in his mid-twenties when Alister MacKenzie, the world's most celebrated golf course architect, came to Black Rock to lay out Royal Melbourne West. What followed was a remarkable life in golf. Vern began his four decades as Head Greenkeeper at Kingston Heath by building its spectacular bunkers and its famous 15th hole. In his spare time, he roamed the country designing and remodelling golf courses, spreading golden age philosophies as he went. Once he had finished in the 1960s, no fewer than 90 courses across Australia bore his imprint. This book documents, for the first time, the story of these courses and the legacy of one of Australia's most influential golf course architects.
