Hey Scottie....Tiger's designing his first US course, I have a feeling it might play a bit long!! ;):D

Tiger Woods to design his first U.S. course | Tours & News | Golf.com

Read the figures on what he's getting for his Dubai project! The Golf course I worked at back home was co-designed by Jack Nicklaus and Gene Sarazen(very underrated Golfer)! I'd be curious what Jacks charges as compared to Tiger. Here is a tid bit on Gene for the golfers around here(complements of wikipedia):

Sarazen invented the modern sand wedge and debuted the club at the British Open at Prince's Golf Club in 1932 (which he won). He called it the sand iron and his original club is still on display at Prince's.

Sarazen hit "The shot heard 'round the world" in the 1935 Masters Tournament. It was a final round 235-yard 4-wood on the par-5 15th hole that went in, giving him a very rare double eagle 2 on the hole. It led to his later winning the tournament in a playoff over Craig Wood. At the time of his second shot a check for $1500, the winning prize, had already been written to Craig Wood.

The winner of 39 PGA Tournaments, Gene Sarazen was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame in 1974. He was the Associated Press Male Athlete of the Year in 1932, a charter member of the World Golf Hall of Fame (1974), and won the PGA Tour's first Lifetime Achievement Award in 1996.
