GOLFING IN MEXICO
Numerous Mexico´s golf courses have been added to the list of “noticeable courses in the world” most of them under the establishment of private clubs. In Mexico there are almost 28,000 registered golfers with monitored handicaps.
Course designer, Agustin Pizá, —the only Latin American member of the European Institute of Architects of Golf— said in an enterview to Mundo Ejecutivo Magazine, that unlike other countries, Mexico has desert, beach, lakes, mountains, tropical forest and even jungle with different heights. “This variety gives us a very special affluence; since we have competitive, recreational and business spaces. The latter ideal is not only to practice the skill, as well as patience and honesty in this sport of gentlemen, where all that is controlled is the next blow.”
