\"\"<\/a>Gonzalo Fern\u00e1ndez Casta\u00f1o, <\/strong>representative in Spain for CDP, says:\u00a0\u201cI am delighted to be joining the CDP team. I have seen Frank Pont\u2019s excellent restoration work at first hand at Puerta de Hierro, my home club for many years, and I am looking forward to working with him and Hendrik Hilgert elsewhere in Spain. Golf architecture has fascinated me for a long time.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cAs a tournament professional, I have had the privilege of seeing and playing courses around the world, including many of the very best. I am sure that CDP can provide its proven expertise to many other owners, developers and operators of golf clubs here in Spain. Although I shall continue to play on tour, I shall be devoting a significant part of my remaining time focusing on CDP\u2019s projects in Spain.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
