Politics. There was a lot of dissent within the club about the redevelopment of the old clubhouse with condos, amongst other things, which unfortunately spilt over into the vote on the development of the new courses. There was also concern expressed about debt levels and share values at the meeting. Sadly, I don't think the opponents realised just how good these courses were likely to be, and the best way to boost share values is to build great courses. I spoke to Bob Harrison after the meeting and was left in no doubt that he would have improved upon the already highly rated Moonah course, and it would not have been unreasonable to expect something special from Tom Doak, who would have had the first bite at the second course.
