"Sold out" is probably too strong a term ... have you sold out, Matt?
I drew the plans for the Stadium course, so I'm pretty familiar with how the process unfolded. Landmark Land was Pete's #1 client and they wanted a tough, championship course as the centerpiece of their new development; they basically wanted something similar to the TPC in a different setting. Plus, it was also a partnership with the Tour, and the Tour's program for stadium courses had been honed by Mr. Dye and Commissioner Beman at Sawgrass. It wasn't exactly a radical departure for what Mr. Dye had been building for Landmark previously ... they liked their courses hard. It was just a blank site to be lined with homes, where there was nothing else to distract from the program.
Pete did not really want to build an island green 17th hole and presented more than one alternative with water in play but not the island. The client insisted on the island.
Is that selling out, to not walk away from your biggest client under such circumstances? If so, easy for you to say. My personal impression was that Pete Dye never did anything for the money, because he didn't need to.
