How is the business doing?

 

****

Not bad, although the expectations are much higher, especially concerning the number of golf-players which – to a considerable degree – determines the business climate in our sector. I believe that golf will soon gain in popularity in Poland.  We are catching up with Europe in various spheres - the same should be true about golf. 

 

* - Awful. ** - Poor. *** - Medium. **** - Good. ***** - Wonderful!
