Title: Vail approves golf course windmills
Post by: dystopia on January 03, 2007, 12:56:48 PM
Ok, it's a temporary art project, but I don't think I'd be happy with 2,700 glowing windmills added to my course.

Did you see a recent article mentioning Donald Trump is fighting windmills miles offshore at his new development in Scotland?  He seems to be a bit of a tool.  Yes?  No?  Maybe?

You don't mean that in a Don Quixote kind of way, do you?

The Donald has never been described as quixotic.

Yeah, I remember reading about that.  I recall he got the windmill folks to back down, but the project was still in trouble for other reasons.

I made a comment that the greens on the course I played in my league, last year, only needed a windmill to make a fine Putt-Putt course. [sm_shock] :sad3:

Do you have to get the ball through all 2700?
