Troon Golf, Waterstudio.NL and Dutch Docklands have announced plans to build a floating golf course in the Maldives islands, in the Indian Ocean, with holes connected by underwater tunnels. — wired.co.uk
Wired tells us about plans to build a zero-footprint, super-ambitious, golf course project. At least we'll have golf when the sea levels rise.

Isn't it just a tinny bit indulgent?

The sustainable claims here are ridiculous. This type of project may (as claimed) contribute to the country's GDP, but aren't there more responsible and socially inclusive ways to achieve the same? This is obscene in its indulgence.
As innovative as this design is, golf courses are becoming environmental disasters. The NY Times did a nice job covering the topic earlier this month: http://www.nytimes.com/2011/04/03/business/03tiger.html
this is one of the dumbest projects of 2011,
about as dumb as that airport in central park project
