Te Uri o Hau has sold 230 hectares of their 616 hectare forest at Te Arai beach, near Mangawhai, to American financier and golf enthusiast Ric Kayne.

Marty, Te Arai beach is the place methinks,

In bed down under once again with the demon alternative investment community?  ;)  Not sure how excited I am about the target low handicap audience concept, but maybe that's just because I couldn't break 80 if my life depended on it.  At least now the Sebonack members will know where to plan their winter golf...

Jud:

I don't think we're talking about a golf course as hard as Sebonack ... certainly not anywhere near as long ... we might only get to 6700 or 6800 yards at Te Arai, and Ric hasn't said anything about making it very difficult.

Actually, though, Ric Kayne is a member at Sebonack, among other places.

For the turfies out there, 6 job positions have been posted for this new course. If you are interested they are on the New Zealand Superintendents website.

If anyone happens to be in the neighborhood, I am in the Air NZ lounge at LAX this evening, on my way down.  Will be on site November 2-6 seeing if we can make some shaping progress.

The Auckland and Northland Superintendents Associations held a field day today to walk around the course today.
It was looking fantastic with 5 holes grassed. Can not wait to see the final product!

Dane,

How far away would you estimate the finished product is?

There's no talk of any dates or a deadline.The holes that have been seeded are in very good shape. I believe they are to start seeding more next week.
