Matty G Lands First Interview With Mike Keiser In Over A Month: "I continue to be astonished in the overwhelming belief in links golf."
/You can't blame him since the only other person building golf courses is Donald Trump and we don't want to hear from him too often. Keiser talks about his various projects on the even of the $100 par-3 course opening at Bandon Dunes. Keiser reports demand is high for The Preserve in spite of the pricetag.
MG: Although I’ve never taken you up on it, I’ve always appreciated Bandon’s offer -- if you play 36 in one day, and you still have the time and energy to play another nine or 18 -- you play for free. If I play 36 in a day on one or two of the big courses, is my late-afternoon round at Preserve free?
MK: This is how it’s going to work: If you play a big course in peak season, it’s $230. A replay rate on a big course is $115. The Preserve will be $100 in peak season; $50 off-peak, and although there will be no replay rate at Preserve, the third round in one day on any of the five courses is free. In order to avoid an afternoon jam on Preserve, we're considering an age stipulation. One suggestion: you can only play Preserve in the afternoon if you’re over 50.
