Charles Dundas Lawrie (8 February 1923 – 31 August 1976) was a British golfer and golf course architect. He competed as an amateur in The Open (The British Open) in 1955 and 1957.[1]. He was the non-playing captain of the Great Britain & Ireland team in the 1960 and 1962 Eisenhower Trophy, and the non-playing captain of the Great Britain and Ireland Walker Cup team in 1961 and 1963[2]. In the 1960s and 70s, he held various posts with the R&A, including Deputy Chairman and Chairman of the Royal & Ancient Championship Committee, and Chairman of the Royal & Ancient Selection Committee[3]. He went on to design golf courses as a partner of the prestigious firm "Cotton Pennick Lawrie & Partners", who designed many golf courses around the world. He designed the Duke's Course (1976), the location of the British Masters for 20 years[4], and the Duchess' course (1978) at Woburn Golf Club[5]. The Duke's course has been described by Today's Golfer as a masterpiece[6].

He was born on the 8th February, 1923, in Edinburgh. He and his family moved to North Berwick where he learned to play golf, winning the Elco Medal in 1937 at the children's course at North Berwick Golf Club[2]. He won the Gold Medal at a junior tournament at Carnoustie in 1939. He was educated at Fettes and Oxford, where 'he was a cricket star'[7]. Whilst at Oxford University he gained five "Blues" in different sports.[3] He fought in World War II with the Coldstream Guards[7]. As Sheriff of Anglesey, he took part in the Queens coronation visit in 1953 in Caernarvon Castle[8]. He died aged 53 in his birthplace, Edinburgh[7].
