Polaris World and Jack, Jack and the Open, Jack and the family business
Jack Nicklaus was in the UK yesterday, to unveil his involvement with Polaris World in the development of Condado de Alhama with three course designs (including a signature course) to be built in Murcia, Spain.

Ryder Cup - Four Euros and a Dollar man.
The Heritage at Woburn 22nd September- Four faces, all with smiles albeit tired ones, were more than happy to talk about the experience of a lifetime, the huge European team win at this year’s Ryder Cup in Detroit. Colin Montgomerie, Padraig Harrington, David Howell and Ian Poulter were the members of that team about to play in the new Heritage Championship, with only Harrington having a specific target, to qualify for the HSBC World Matchplay – this was not to be a statement of play such as their 2004 Captain Bernard Langer’s win in Munich the week after the Cup of 1991 and the German’s integral part in more of the highest drama in sport.
