Episode 142: TGH 142: MacKenzie and Cypress Point

About this episode

The episode explores the history of Dr. Alister MacKenzie and Cypress Point with guest Sean Tully, discussing hypothetical scenarios regarding MacKenzie's career.

As we countdown until the days of the playing of the 2025 Walker Cup at the Cypress Point Club, I thought it would be great to look back at the History of Dr. Alister MacKenzie and Cypress Point with our special guest Sean Tully. Its a great show where we ask the question - what would Dr. Mackenzie's career looked like, had Seth Raynor not passed away suddenly in 1926. We discuss the semi-recently found routing plans that may predate both Mackenzie and Raynor. Enjoy the show and the 2025 Walker Cup! Support TalkinGolf
