Jack Nicklaus was on CNBC today to talk about his new branding alliance with designer David Chu and Howard Milstein. During the interview, Nicklaus was asked about his golf course design company, which manages 341 courses.

Nicklaus: Right at the present time, we have 40 golf courses under construction, which is down. We normally have about 60. We have been 120 or 130 golf courses under contract, as you’re going through zoning or financing or whatever they might be. So our business is still there. Yes, it is a slowdown. A big slowdown. And I think that golf course design at this present time is a luxury –- certainly not something that somebody does every day. We still have a business...In China, golf is just exploding. China is probably our key market today.”
