1. No not really
2. No. It is abhorrent that money can buy approval and outweigh the fact that the area chosen for this development is a rare and protected environment . While it is true that in the short term it will provide a number of jobs, I doubt that it will provide facilities for the local community in the longer term.
3. No. We already have the oldest and most famous golf course in the world, why do we need another one? Nobody's interested, and nobody wants it.
4. I'm sorry, will you run that by us again? Donald Trump, master of Atlantic City and ex-husband of Ivana ..who he regarded as a trophy wife..is going to give a bit of class to Scotland with its mountains and moors; universities and architecture, castles and ancient golf clubs? Is there another Donald Trump I never heard of before? What Scotland is going to get is a nasty, money making resort that will be filed up with people who think that they are experiencing the real Scotland and staffed by people who, if they are scots, will be required to train themselves to speak with as little of their own accents as possible so that the americans and japanese visitors can understand them. Get real.
5. No it's bloody not. It's bad news, really bad news.
6. not as good as the news that maradona is coming to Scotland... massive (and not just his gut).
7. I think America would benefit from some real golf courses we have enough in Scotland and regading class sorry pal we already have it by the bucket load
8. No!!!! It is protected land with a lot of natural wild life and beautiful sand dunes. People will not not be able to walk freely where they once used to. The visual beauty will be replaced by artificial manufactured neatly cut hedges and grass. What a waste of space taken up by stupid people with stupid traditions hitting a little white ball across the crass. Michael Douglas in the film falling down had the right idea about golfing and golf courses. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VuT12_bPl...
