George,
If you and I went out for a round of golf today at a Mike Keiser and a Donald Trump public course, guess which one is cheaper to play?
As Rihc mentioned above in so many words, he is a quirky guy who obviously loves golf. We have more than a few of those around here! 
Mike -
I'm not of the populists on the site, so I don't begrudge either of them the right, or even the desire, to profit from their ventures.
I guess it's just a matter of approach. Mike Keiser seems genuinely interested in building a superior product, whether that means learning by playing and thinking about the great classic courses, interviewing and hiring new unknown thoughtful designers, as well as polished professionals, and/or seeking input from the golfers who visit Bandon. By contrast, The Donald seems interested in wanting people to love his courses, and by extension, him. He doesn't seem too interested in learning why people like or dislike his courses, just whether or not they do - and heaven forbid they don't.
Of course, I haven't met either, I could be totally wrong in my read of each.
On a completely separate note, I don't really get the accolades for Bamberger, either. I find his writing to be overly pretentious, and only occasionally insightful.
But, then again, I was a math major, not an English major.
