Issue 13, July 2008

We've been especially fortunate in this edition to secure an exclusive interview with golf legend Jack Nicklaus. Not content with 18 professional Major wins, Nicklaus has built the world’s largest golf design firm, currently working on courses in more than 40 countries.

As well as Jack, we have plenty of other content to tease readers' interest, including an extended feature on golf development. What do developers look for when choosing a designer, and how do they differentiate themselves from the competition? How do new golf facilities market themselves? Our summit will tell you.

Golf writer Richard Goodale profiles legendary Irish designer Eddie Hackett in our Pioneer section, and double Masters champion Bernhard Langer offers us his thoughts as this month's Player.

And in our On Site section, we have been especially busy, with visits to Royal Antwerp in Belgium, where architect Dimitri van Hauwaert is trying to restore Tom Simpson's work, to David Krause's Golf Valley in Germany, which has aspirations to be a major tournament venue in the future, and Pasatiempo, The Concession and the Deltona Club in the States – plus an article by architect Chris Pitman on his restoration of Alister MacKenzie's historic Titrangi course in New Zealand.
