It was then he became acquainted with computer animation and the use of motion capture software. Already during his University studies, his passion for golf drew him to Karlstejn where he worked as a marshal and referee.

This position provided Jakub with experience in management and organisation of the golf resort’s daily operations. In 2004, he accepted an offer to participate on creation of the first Czech private golf resort, Casa Serena by Kutna Hora, as Project Manager and Construction Coordinator. He held this position to successful finish of this exceptional project.

Throughout the course of any construction, Jakub can perform geodetic works, such as staking out and surveying the golf elements, irrigation or drainage, and checking the placement of individual golf elements from the project within the area. He has become a sought-after golf architect and expert in golf course construction both in the Czech Republic and Slovakia.
