Golf Tourism

Thanks for clarifying, all.

So looks like we may be getting Trump/Lawrie/Nicklaus, with maybe a revamp of Hazlehead to come.

What do people think? Good or bad for the area?

Credit Crunch (I hate that phrase!) notwithstanding, will they all get built?

If built, will they attract the tourists, golfers or high-rollers?

Could we get more inbound investment on the back of this, Trump name especially?

Will anything be different or change at the airport? New bizjet apron for the hoardes for Citations or Gulfies?! New parking spot for Trump's 727?

Joking , but to be serious although I personally am all for the developments - we need something else as oil runs down - will all these projects come to fruition, or the phrase (as used by TAD before) "White Elephant(s)" come to mind? Will it bring in the passengers, be it on schedules or private charters/owned bizjets?

Must say looking oot the windae, I cannae imagine onybody playing golf in 'thon!
