The book offers an in-depth discussion of hazards and their role in the game from the golden age of golf. Hazards was first published in 1913, under the title Hazards: Those Essential Elements In a Golf Course Without Which the Game Would Be Tame and Uninteresting. The original version was compiled by Aleck Bauer and featured the writings of golf greats like Dr. Alister MacKenzie, Edward Ray, Lewis Crosby, Laidlaw Purves, and Harry Colt. Bauer's Hazards is one of the most important books in the library of golf architecture and also one of the rarest. The author was deeply involved for three years in the reconstruction of the course at his home club of Ravisloe near Chicago, working with golf course architects Robert White and William Watson. Hazards offers a discussion of famous golf holes and their merit. It focuses on the 8th, 11th, 14th and 17th holes at The Old Course St Andrews. Moving inland, the 17th hole at Walton Heath and the 8th hole at Sunningdale are considered, before returning to the seaside for the 10th and 16th at Westward Ho!
