EUROPEAN GOLF DESIGN
Broomfi eld Hall Celic Manor, Twenty Ten Course, Wales Portmarnock Hotel & Golf Links, Ireland MEET THE TEAM
For all of us, it started with a passion for playing the game – the kind that means playing two or, beter sill, three rounds a day: staring before the dew has been swept from the greens, no ime for lunch and running to get the last few holes inished before the sun has disappeared completely. From there, that passion evolved to a fascinaion with the course itself.
That passion sill drives us. It’s what gets us out of bed at 4am to catch a light for a site visit; it’s what keeps us on site unil, just as when we were younger, the sun has almost disappeared but there’s just enough ime to look at one more hole; it’s the reason why there are days when we don’t really see sunlight at all – geing to the oice before the sun is up and leaving long ater it has set; it’s what drives us to work just that litle bit harder.
Others will judge our success – for us, it is enough to know that at the end of each day, we’ve done everything we can do to make sure that your course is as good as it can be.
