- It's a desolate location. If you build it, will they come?
- Is this really Florida? Amazing what heavy equipment can do.
- The proposed site for the clubhouse is in the "saddle" at center.
- Some of the man-made dunes Doak has the work with.
- Doak climbs to the proposed first tee of his 18.
- Brian Schneider, Tom Doak and Bruce Hepner discuss plans for the first fairway.
- Hepner and Doak at the 150-yard marker on proposed fairway No. 4. Note the tiny figure of Schneider on the green site.

- Doak, Schneider and Hepner, with a drag line in the background.
- A drag line looms over some of the property to be used for the Bill Coore-Ben Crenshaw course. The gigantic machine is probably gone by now.

Mosaic Fertilizer's PR people tells our Board of County Commissioners that sand is not a problem (when I complained of the blowing sand...I have COPD and so does my husband, and we lived in our home prior to phosphate mining in our area) as the company keeps berms to keep the sand on their property...lies...and more lies...look at the slide show and see what mining actually does...no mention of the one hundred thousand gallons of fresh ground water per day (plus, if you add all of the mining Mosaic does) and take into account that mining follows the waterways...think of the impact on that. Florida is reaching the critical stage of water shortages....there is a lot more I could say on the water problem....
