Keeping track of the widening casualties of the global recession in China is becoming increasingly difficult, but it is still worth watching for pockets of opportunity. Leaving aside the export sector, it seems intuitive that many of the industries that fed off the asset and property bubble on the way up will be spat out on the way down. One surprising new casualty of the economy is the jobless golf caddie. Mission Hills, the self-proclaimed biggest golf club on Earth and recent host of the World Cup of Golf event, is sacking 2,000 employees, or 20% of its staff, according to a recent Bloomberg news report. But KPMG said in a recent study that golfers in China pay on average US$161 a round — the highest in the world.

New Tournament, next year’s HSBC Champions, has been established in China which is the world’s fastest-growing major economy.The HSBC Champions is a $5 million invitational for tournament winners and top-ranked players held in Shanghai and it might move to Guangdong Province, home of Mission Hills which is China’s biggest course.

According to the National Golf Foundation, the number of new courses expected to open in the United States in 2008 is the smallest in 20 years. More courses are scheduled to close this year (nearly 100) than the 80 expected to open, though the closures have fallen since almost 150 were shut down two years ago. The golf construction boom of the 1990s – when about 2,500 new courses (mostly daily fee ones) were added to the 13,000 or so already extant in the U.S. – is not only over; it’s stuck in reverse.

Rick Jacobson is a golf course architect in Libertyville, Ill. For nearly two decades, the founder of Jacobson Golf Course Design designed and renovated courses in Chicago suburbs, such as Bloomingdale and Winnetka, as well as nationally. But in the last few years, Jacobson – who has worked with Jack Nicklaus on a number of projects – has focused on a new market: China.

Last month, Jacobson agreed to design a 27-hole course in Hong Kong. It’s his third venture in China, following the 36-hole Lion’s Lake Resort course near Guangzhou and Chaozhou, an 18-hole resort course.

Hundreds of courses have been built in China in the last quarter-century with at least 20 more expected to open in the next few years.

Trans Strait Golf Club

PACKAGE TOUR COMING SOON

Profile

The Strait Olympic Golf Course is a typical seaside links style course. The bulrush, long grass and sea breeze all have a taste of wildness. The purity, quiet and lake of the court are all covered in a piece of tranquillity. You will have a feeling of traveling in the painting if you walk around the court when the sun is setting.

It is often said that the tournament in Strait Olympic Golf course is very great and exquisite. Neither the structure and the decoration of the club nor the organizition and the proccess of the tournament is exaggerated.

The Strait Olympic Golf Course locates in the dune byland tothe southeast of the Fuzhou Changle International Airport. Three sides of the byland are surrounded by sea with the east side facing the Taiwan Strait. The ear-like byland is fairly flat. The naturally formed dune, the wide spread trees, the grassland, the marsh, the lake and the beach all form into a lively ecosystem. On the other side, seen against a background of mountains, the lake and the dune change in topography. The lake and the mountain combine into a fantastic sight with high level of preservation.
