Tiger Woody

The 19th (and some say most important) hole in The Tiger Woods Dubai project has been officially started:

The sub-structure of the clubhouse, including foundation, retaining walls and columns for its basement levels, are now complete and well on its way to welcoming members and visitors from late 2009.

In other news, I read that:

Most of the 11,000 trees required for the golf course have been procured, while approximately 350 mature trees have already been planted on the course.
