Pardon the OT.

Soundbite Doak is hilarious.
Nothing hilarious about this:
“So instead of creating big artificial dunes to focus views and such, we’ll focus on building smaller, rippling contours as are found on links courses the world over, plus a dynamic bunkering scheme.”

Sounds exactly like the right approach.

That’s funny on many levels.
