WHEN Ryder Cup great Tony Jacklin speaks about golf people tend to listen. His place alongside the legends of the sport like Jack Nicklaus, Gary Player and Arnold Palmer is secure, and although his best playing days a way behind him he is at the forefront of the development and expansion of the game around the world.
Unsurprisingly Jacklin’s caused a stir in Cyprus this week with both the golf fraternity and wealthy expats out in force for a chance to meet one of the sport’s greatest names.
Coaxed away from his idyllic Gulf coast home in Bradenton, Florida,

Casually dressed in ‘Jacklin Design Group’ polo shirt and hair perfectly coiffed, Jacklin relaxed with a brandy, away from the party guests, to talk about the Cyprus project, golf and his new career in course design.
Cyprus is drawing some star designers with Nick Faldo and Nicklaus already involved in golf projects on the island.

Judging by the well-heeled Brits in attendance at the presentation evening, Jacklin’s belief that UK golfers will be the driving force behind the game’s development in Cyprus is spot on.

“My feeling is that there will be a lot of golf, it’s an ideal place, it will be a Mecca for golfers in Five years, maybe less than that,” predicts the former Ryder Cup winning captain.
