As you may have guessed, these comments were made in five stories published in June's World Edition of the Golf Course Report. They were said, respectively, in reports about Mandell's close encounters with prospective clients in China, a planned 36-hole golf complex in Cuba, Jacobson's ever-growing Chinese golf portfolio, the Rio de Janeiro International Golf Club in Brazil, and the course Garcia is co-designing with Bret Stinson of IMG.
June's World Edition also has the low-down on new courses, additions to existing courses, and significant renovations in England, India, Canada, New Zealand, Australia, St. Thomas, and Singapore.
