Recent news on Cabot Links, Nova Scotia

I gotta come down on the side of having confidence and faith in the principles knowing best what is needed to be revealed about the progress of this project.  They have their risk of $$$ and reputations at stake.  They will act in the best interests of success in the project, and when they choose to make certain things public, is fine with me.  I think Adam is right, and we don't know how many sensitive details may be involved, from local politics to tricky financing, or even inner circle of developers disagreements.  Outter periphery real estate considerations may also be in the big picture.  Assembling R.E. packages of land and their local impact and rumor mill stuff is highly volitile in most projects. 

So, I am willing to wait and let these highly respectable principles do their thing on their timeline and in their most well considered schedule.

Good Luck!

Guy, would love to see some of those trees cut from the mound on the left about 225 yds off the tee. This is a picture from circa 1941

Actually Greg, my proposal includes 40 yards of clear cutting on both sides, then building a WalMart-sized asphalt landing area to propel the ball forward and into the middle of the fairway. A forecaddy program couldn't hurt, either.

I'd like to hear which courses were hurt by early buzz.  They must be courses that lived up to the hype, of course. 

Obviously Keiser knows how to market his courses.  If he is keeping quiet about Cabot, it makes me think there are some uncertainties with the project. 

How can great advance publicity -- that the course lives up to -- be bad for business?
