I guess Brian Walshe sold all of his Apple stock to fund the purchase, then.

My first thought too.  Will they make architectural changes to the course?

Jim,

Maybe they are hiring an architect to design the Fingal course?

I was told that the course was being put up for sale, but have heard nothing from anyone about who has bought it.  I can tell you for sure it was not Mike Keiser.

The 2nd Saturday of each month is the 'Tom Doak Back Tee Challenge'.

Did you know that you had an event named after you? You need to copyright your name.  ;D

not many - if any - architects here in Australia could afford to buy a share in a golf course! It certainly wasn't me. the only one I could think of was Peter Thomson. Or perhaps Tony Cashmore.

You mean to say there is that much money to be made in screwing up Sandbelt courses? 

I am going to have to hang out a shingle.
