Their MISSION is to create experiences that transform lives. Somehow, I don't think playing golf is going to do that. Not only that, but scraping
every square inch of Punta Brava is going to be in an environmentally sensitive manner.
“The company's mission is to create experiences that transform lives.”
“exclusive, environmentally sensitive residential and hospitality experiences.”
“Our commitment is to create places that make a soft imprint on the earth yet a powerful impact on the individual”
“Sustaining the environment and indigenous cultures are integral to its core philosophy.”

Not real sure what all that crap is supposed to mean. Since I live close by and have for some time, am I to be considered "Indigenous?" I, all of a
sudden, have this compulsion to cook up a pot of rocks and twigs.
Oh Gawd..The Noblesse Oblige and arrogance of the rich is so disgusting. I wonder if the less well off inhabitants of Baja feel this revulsion when
we Americans invade their territory with our mind-set of caring for their well-being while we arn't preoccupied with our posessions.
Just wondering to myself.

You are not alone my friend. One of the "benefits" of these difficult times is that (hopefully) it leads to greater introspection. I know that I have
really come to appreciate a whole lot more what I have been given in life...

“The company's mission is to create experiences that transform lives.”
This is actually Great News!!! Being that the average worker makes $80.00 or more a week (not much more) and they are so concerned about creating
experiences, can you imagine what the Green Fee's will be that will allow "Experiences". I'd guess like maybe $15.00 to play around of golf???
I can't believe how generous this Tiger guy is and what he is willing to do (tear up Punta Brava) in order to give all National Mexicans (and us US'rs
as well) a chance to Experiences his new, great, environmentally sensitive Golf Course.

There will not be green fees. Members will pay annual dues probably somewhere between 50-100K. The course will not be open to the public. I will never
be able to play a round of golf there so it really is of no benefit to me but I wonder how many of you think they should tear down pebble beach and
return it to its natural state?
Just seems to me there is a lot of double standard speak on this...

Ahhhhh, to be rich and unconcerned. It's a warm and fuzzy feeling I'm sure. I wonder if any liberals are onboard?
Now that would be a double standard.
What's so great about Pebble Breach if you don't play golf?

Isn't that about what it is from Ensenada?
Throw in a stop at Wal-Mart, Home Depot, Applebee's and an Army checkpoint or two and it's just like Monterey.
Dennis could set up a roadside stand and sell beer.

I like that. I've hoarded enough Noche Buena to stay in business for about six months assuming I abandon the "Sell one...Drink one" business plan.
Aw...Nevermind. I'll just drink all of it.

Hey, maybe you can drive the "NocheBuena" golf cart out on Tiger's new course. Those guys have to leave some awesome tips...

How about I grab mine and we sit outside the Lush Punta Brava Tiger Wood's Golf Course and sell it to those as they drive in. We could also play loud
blarring music like that do when un Tienda de Zapatas opens up!

You think rich people are generally generous? Quite the opposite methinks.
Oregon with it's rediculous liguor laws allows hard liquor dispensing on the greens but cannot be in view of children anywhere it's sold.
Showstagoya if you sleep with the right folks.......
Why not in Baja, screw the beer. It's not like it's gonna mess your game up.

I heard that Tiger Woods isn't putting any of his dough into the project because Mrs. Tiger refuses to wait for the truck to show up and fill the
pila.

La Bufadora Tours Inc.
Punta Brava is about a 15 minute paddle from my casa so I figure I get some more kayaks and have tours like in Beverly Hills. Or I could go to Los
Globos buy some old large cameras mount them on my 18footer and create a paparazzi bonanza. Then again with a nice megaphone "you shanked it putz" The
wall street tycoon flips me off and I sell the pics to the Enquirer. Better lay off any more coffee today.
