Clint Eastwood golf course venture denied
Golf course vetoed despite a fistful of dollars | Special reports | Guardian Unlimited

Quote:
With his mantelpiece bearing four Oscars and 90 other movie awards, Clint Eastwood is not used to rejection. Until this week, that is, when he came up against the California coastal commission.

On Wednesday its members voted by eight to four to throw out a bid from Eastwood and other celebrity investors to build a golf course in an area of protected forest on the Monterey peninsula. The proposal would have seen the felling of up to 18,000 trees, including 15,000 of the locality's signature species, the Monterey pine.

I am a golfer and obviously, I am in favor of more golf courses especially ones at beautiful settings like the proposed development would have been at. Judging from what little knowledge I have from the article, it was a good decision.

It's good that it got blocked. Eastwood already has a pretty nice course out that way:
