It was with great sadness that we learnt of the death of EIGCA (European Institute of Golf Course Architects) Honorary Member, Geoffrey Cornish. An obituary can be found on the Institute’s website at http://www.eigca.org/news/EIGCA82382.ink.

1oth Tee - East Course - Liu Jiang International Golf Club
The project named after the majestic, wide & slow flowing River Liu not only meanders around the city of Liuzhou itself but it also forms the northern and eastern boundary of the East Course – Jiang being the Chinese word for river.
In all some 7 holes of the East Course will strongly feature the river as part of their strategy.
To date earthworks have commenced on holes 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 13, 14, 15& 16 and all holes have been cleared.
Fine shaping is expected to commence after Chinese New Year which starts on January 23rd and which lasts until February 1st.
