I have to give credit to writer Steve Elling for tweeting a great quote “Abandoned Dunes” in commenting about the termination of construction of Tiger Woods’ signature golf course in Dubai….

Abandoned Dunes

Due to being hit by the economic recession, the developers of the $1 billion Tiger Woods course and real estate venture have put further construction on hold. The few holes of golf course which are completed will no longer be watered and may soon “return to sand.”

The development was slated to feature over 30,000 imported trees, a high end hotel, a golf school, 22 palaces, 75 mansions and 100 villas.

If it returns to sand Tiger might never get out of it! I couldn’t believe how poor his bunker play was this past weekend.

That is a hilarious point. Yes TW’s bunker play wasn’t good at all this week.
