Scotland has world-wide reputation for golf

"I realised there was a niche for a conference which targeted the young aspiring multi-millionaire with money to spare that dreamed of building their own golf course," he said.

"Golf is the fastest growing sport in the world today and the number of new courses being developed across the globe is phenomenal.

"Unfortunately, golf course development is also one of the riskiest businesses to get involved in as the dozens of spectacular failures throughout the world testify."

Mr Kidd has put together a team of experts who will explain to delegates the best way of putting a together a package together which will makes the process as smooth as possible.

More countries are developing courses

People from Malaysia, Egypt, South Africa, the Middle East, the US, Europe and the UK have already signed up for the conference.

"The most development in golf is of course happening in the United States," said Mr Kidd.

"But the three biggest golf boom countries are Vietnam, Cambodia and China so I am expecting to sign some delegates from that part of the world as well."

He explained that courses usually cost between �2m and �4m to build, but added: "It takes more than money to build a successful golf course."

Many international golfers have made the transition from player to course designer with names such as Jack Nicklaus, Gary Player and Arnold Palmer masterminding prestigious developments across the globe.

Delegates are coming from all over the world

Nicklaus was the architect of the Gleneagles PGA Centenary Course - his only work in Scotland - and Mr Kidd said it was appropriate that the Perthshire showpiece should be the setting for this ground-breaking conference.

"Gleneagles is the big attraction for many delegates," he said.

"Its the prime example of a quality resort and a quality golf course complex."

The two-day seminar costs �600-per-person.
