Torregrande clears a hurdle. We give you a rare glimpse (certainly rare these days) into a prospective new project working to gain entitlements. It is a truly wonderful opportunity.

RICHARD A. BARIL: CARTE BLANCHE?

http://richardbaril.blogspot.com/2008/03/carte-blanche.html

What does carte blanche mean? By: Richard A. Baril. I was dining with a client at his resort one night. I believe the event was to commemorate his 4th or 5th divorce. He was good natured about it. He told me he had a new marriage system, which is similar to the system used by fishermen. I didn’t understand. So, he said, “It’s called ‘catch and release”. 8220;The golf course must be good. You have carte blanche! Do you know what this means? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Von HAGGE, SMELEK and BARIL.

RICHARD A. BARIL: JUST ONE

http://richardbaril.blogspot.com/p/just-one.html

Originally published in GolfInc magazine May 2008). Maybe this should be called K-I-S-S or keep it simple, stupid). Most non-golfers believe that golfers are elitist. Most golfers passionately deny that. The clarity of the conflict becomes apparent when a golfer is asked: “Hey I have never played but I would love to try it, could we play sometime?

http://richardbaril.blogspot.com/2013/05/dansk-golf-magazine-3-courses.html

DANSK GOLF MAGAZINE 3 COURSES. During a weekend we played three amazing courses and also went in the footsteps of the Danish nobility….

Whether you like it or not, those days long gone. Today, all new courses, area a result of capital and a desire to, as soon as possible, build a golf course. Now, they have introduced a Bunker...

http://richardbaril.blogspot.com/2014/07/trumps-blue-monster-makeover.html

Trump's "Blue Monster" makeover. I came across this clipping of an article in our archive:. The article is more than 10 years old.
