I agree, the Laundry Man should stay out of big business and stick to ripping off the poor! Very irritating to read commentary from one responsible for the mess. No one in the Government was a "paid" supposed "professional" Director, but he was and failed to such an extent that if he was in the UK, he would be disqualified from holding such Office most likely ever again. Fact that he was Head of Chamber of Commerce simply further demonstrates how backward and desperate we are with a "D" Average intellectual population.

Well, based upon the reaction to this ridiculous suggestion, not only would I say whatever political aspirations Wayne may have had are "dead on arrival", but he may well be the first Bahamain to have their QC Appointment revoked for espousing such utter nonsense. I suppose even he is a product of Generation D Average, hence even our "supposed" smart Cookies are in reality dumb, dumb, dumb Coconuts!

How/Why was the Dominican fishing in The Bahamas?

Unbelievable, just read CNN Article where he goes on to say He has "nothing to look forward too"! How the mighty have fallen. As for "Albany", the coverage has been disastrous, with last year Winner Jordon Spieth just describing "live" on NBC the Course as "extremely" easy, akin to a "pitch and put"! Do not think I have ever heard such commentary in connection with a PGA Tournament. Worse from a Country perspective, a shot from Bubba was described as coming out of the "desert"!!! Please just have someone stop the coverage, as this is potentially worse for "our Brand" than even the out of control crime and dysfunctional political climate we live in, which remain for the most part unknown to the outside World.

Would appear from the reporting that this Course is far too easy and not up to par for the Pros. What is further interesting to note is how poor the "Resident" Pros, Rose and Scott are doing compared to the "Guests". One would have expected them to have a huge advantage from having played the Course on a regular basis, but apparently not?!?

The coverage certainly does not portray the beauty of The Bahamas at all. Distinct lack of vegetation makes the place look more like Dubai, but without the fancy buildings, so more like some sort of odd military compound with all the darkly painted tin roofs. Again, very poor representation of The Bahamas and truly amazing that people have been willing to invest from all accounts "serious" money into such a concept when there are so many other better options available for much less. Just proves, notwithstanding The Great Recession, how many suckers with money are out there still willing to drink the Kool-Aid! Presumably, easy made, easy lost. In any event, hopefully any future golf coverage will be from Ocean Club, Lyford, Exuma or Abaco, all of which are truly beautiful courses in far more attractive locations. Dare I say, even poor old down trodden Freeport would show better!

I applaud John Buchanan for articulating so well what a "few" of us knew all too well was the "real" reason this Project imploding, namely Izfailian and his incompetent Management, together with his hand picked Light Weight "social" Directors and Legal Advisors. The only person who I have any sympathy for in this whole debacle is his Father, who backed his Son, only to see him disgrace the Family Name and in the process squander the Family Fortune. One can only hope that he leaves to Charity what may remain!

Well written, but with a "D" average for as long as one cares to remember, how on Earth can one expect to reverse this trend, unless perhaps we completely open up our Country to intelligent and wealthy foreign immigrants without restriction in the hope of pig-backing off their ideas, as it is simply not possible for us with a "D" average to solve a situation requiring "A" Class intelligence.

I noted he "lost" it, my point was expecting him to now destroy it is unrealistic.

I agree, asking the King of our modern day Tourisim Product to take over a Competitor who vowed to be "bigger and better" than Alantis is one thing from an ego perspective, but to expect the King to also now destroy what continues to represent the Jewel in his Crown, however lost, in order to succeed is simply never going to happen, and in turn, this "supposed" deal makes little, if any sense.
