News from Keith Preston

Although many golf projects in Austria and Germany have been put on the "back burner" for the time being,
there are still a number of projects under discussion.

Even though the economic climate has cooled things down somewhat, the Czech Republic remains an active market.
This autumn, 9 holes of the Albatross Golf Course, a new, great championship course near Prague, have already been playable for the first time. The grand opening of all 18 holes will be in spring 2010. This course will no doubt rival the Ypsilon Golf Resort in Liberec designed by us a few years ago which, since it’s opening, has been voted the best and
most challenging course in the Czech republic.

Also in the Czech Republic, in Pysely, just south of Prague, in an area of great natural beauty, we have planned a new ‘family’ golf course. We are delighted that the UVP went through very quickly and construction is due to start 2010.

We are presently working on the renovation and re-design of a course near St. Gallen in Switzerland. The laws and rules of this Canton for the environmental study are very clear and transparent but never the less require time and patience.
