The Great Hazlehead Controversy ....

Comment from reader Brian Ewen:

It always puzzles me how people that quote about Hazlehead and its designer Dr Alister Macenzie, never read his book .
Haven't got it to hand , but I am sure he said his vision was to turf over the stones , making a sort of inland links.
The Aberdeen City Council didn't like this , and dynamited the course after he left , which left the course with little stone shards over it , for years later.
There was also a mention of a mild winter , which didn't help.
He finished the chapter with a rant and jokes about mean Aberdonians.
I am sure the Good Doctor is having a right good chuckle at how his name is being used by the developers (and the Club Shop!).
