Udo Machat designs, photographs, and writes books about the game of golf. Born and raised in Vienna, Austria, he attended Art College in Toronto and then came to North America in 1957. Machat became a sought-after independent designer and writer, working for advertising agencies in Southern California. On one of those assignments at The Vintage Club in Indian Wells, he was introduced to Ely Callaway who had just bought a small golf club manufacturing company. A relationship of fifteen years ensued, during which Machat produced most of the printed materials, print ads, and some tv concepts for Callaway Golf. More importantly, the allure of golf and his fascination with the subject had taken hold. Machat was inspired to design and publish books on the subject of golf. Among the books published by Machat are Tom Fazio’s Golf, The Golf Courses of the Monterey Peninsula, The Vintage Club, Poppy Hills Golf Course, The Golf Ball Book, and Golf Courses of the High Sierra.
Cal Brown is a former director of Golf Digest Instruction School and writer and editor for Golf Digest. He is the author of numerous golf books, including Masters Memories, Augusta National & The Masters: A Photographer’s Scrapbook and, with Tom Fazio, Golf Course Design, which was named one of the top 25 golf books of all time by Travel & Leisure Golf Magazine.
