Abstract/Contents:Describes the construction of The Agalarov Golf Club in Russia. States that "the development, 12 miles northwest of Moscow, will include an indoor soccer arena, equestrian center, firing range, beach club, and a hotel and shopping complex. The $11 million golf club is thought to be only the third golf course built in Russia." Discusses labor-related issues in construction, stating that "with low-paid laborers from such countries such as Armenia, Turkey and other Baltic countries, the work ethic is substandard." Reports that "the ...timetable calls for the Agalarov Golf Club to be completed in late 2007 or early 2008 if the weather and labor situation remain stable." States that "the course will feature all bentgrass greens, tees, fairways and rough."
