While Nick Faldo's desire to play golf may have faded over the past few years, his ambition to remain successful has not.

The six-time major winner is best known now for his colourful analysis with the CBS golf team but Faldo's busy days don't end there.

As the main man behind Faldo Design, the Orlando, Fla., native said between dreaming up the blueprints for the world's newest layouts and following the PGA with CBS,

"We have about 20 projects on the go, a dozen under construction in literally all four corners of the earth," said Faldo, who was in Calgary recently promoting his newest project --

The Wilderness Club in Montana.

"We've got a links course in Iceland and then there's South Africa to Montana and there's a lot happening in Europe.
