Another Greenbrier Lawsuit...

More news for fans of The Greenbrier's resurgence in the form of another non-payment lawsuit, this time involving Lester George who oversaw the rejuvenation of the Old White course over a four year period, reports Bradley Klein.  Owner Jim Justice defends it this way:

In response to the lawsuits, Justice told Golfweek that “the details will come out in time. The whole issue centers on poor performance. It’s people who have overcharged and are taking advantage and that have done very poor work. . . . The work was completely sub-par. We had to take over the project, the tournament was coming and we saved the day.”

And this was interesting...who knew authors got these kinds of advances?

George’s suit claims $139,885 in unpaid design work. The suit includes an additional $60,000 unpaid out of an initial $80,000 contract for a manuscript on the Greenbrier that George was producing. Justice said the writing project was ended because “Lester’s book just got completely out of control.”
