Steve worked with Alison on the redesign of several golf holes at Shirley Golf Course in Birmingham and hope that Alison will get involved with future golf course design projects.

A 52-player-field from 25 countries will feature at the three-day event. The winner will bank $300,000 (about N45million).
This ambitious proposal is at the instance of US-based sports brand management group, IMG.
Ibom Resort is unarguably Nigeria’s benchmark golf layout with its stock enhanced by five-star on course, Le Meridien Hotel.
Sam Logan of IMG, said the philosophy behind the proposed Africa Cup, is to use golf to drive Akwa Ibom in its desire to be Nigeria’s preferred international destination.
Last year, IMG signed a seven-year management agreement with Le Meridien to run the golf course.
Ernie Els is among a host of international golfers which include, Colin Montgomerie, Rory Sabatini and Retief Goosen, expected to attend the tournament. For Full Story Go to http://www.thisdaylive.com/articles/le-meridien-plans-africa-cup-for-nigeria/84967/

Planning consent has just been granted subject to conditions to construct a new 18 hole championship standard golf course and academy near Great Paxton in Cambridgeshire and shall be named the Cambridgeshire Golf Course and Academy. This is a first for an 18 hole golf layout as there are two sets of tees for each hole and each hole has five tees which makes a total of ten tees per hole!! This is the ultimate flexible golf course whereby from one set of tees the course can be played as a standard length golf course and from the other the course can be played as a championship golf course.
