Living Golf
Episode 50
Cyprus
JACK NICKLAUS
To celebrate the 50th edition of the show, Living Golf spends time with the man who is widely regarded as the greatest player of all-time - Jack Nicklaus.
The Golden Bear, who retired two years ago after playing his final major championship at St Andrews in Scotland, returns to the scene of his emotional farewell to recall that day, talk about his life off the fairways and reflect on a hugely successful career. Even though he has left the competition, it doesn’t mean that Nicklaus is not busy and isn’t challenging himself - in fact quite the opposite. The 67-year-old is busier than ever, travelling around the world and overseeing the development of his thriving golf course design business, with projects currently under construction in no less than 50 countries. Living Golf’s Justin Armsden sat down to talk about all matters golf-related with Nicklaus.
APHRODITE HILLS
This is the most recent and first upmarket addition to the Cyprus golfing scene. Built in 2002, it is part of a five-star hotel and villa complex that overlooks the Mediterranean Sea. This month Living golf goes off the beaten golfing track to explore the game’s growth in Cyprus and how the Aphrodite Hills course was built with the preservation of archaeological sites around the course posing a challenge for developers. Don Riddell has this report.

PROFESSIONAL LIFE OFF COURSE
Life as a professional golfer is often viewed as a glamorous world of travel, star status and big money. On the other hand they spend a lot of time dealing with jetlag and catering for their corporate responsibilities. Justin Armsden joins Ernie Els, Mike Wier , Sam Torrence and other big names as Living Golf explores life behind the scenes for the pro in the build up to the Johnny Walker Classic tournament in Thailand.
