Thank you. I saw that a while ago. Not to drift too far from the subject but I’m just curious why it’s projected as a 18 hole course when the last 10 Championship Courses built have been 27 holes. Any thoughts? Maybe it’s just the amount of land that’s available or maybe there is another reason. It is thought by some the amount of available property had something to do with why 18 holes became the golf course standard in Scotland years ago. A more sinister theory (why 18 holes) is that it took that many holes for a foursome to drink a bottle of Scotch as they strolled the coastal sand dunes commonly referred to as the links.
