The End of Chesapeake Club, North East?

Since that January meeting with Andy Barbin, owner of CBGC, a significant turn has been taken by Barbin. It is evident that even as he spoke to me that day plans were being submitted to the Cecil County Planning Office to change the concept plan of the North East course's development plan to eliminate the golf course, placing townhouses and single family homes on what are now fairways.

The two linked articles from our local paper, The Cecil Whig, below give a good accounting off the fire storm the plan caused in our community and the resulting beat down of Barbin at the first semi=public hearing on the proposal.

The plan is going nowhere right now and the course will open this spring, but Barbin is fanatical in his determination that they will ultimately win approval. All who have looked at the plan think the owners are out of their minds and that Cecil County will never approve such a flawed concept. The fight has just begun and I'll keep you posted.

As for the improvements Barbin described to me in January as imminent? Who knows, but if he is serious that the development will start next spring, why would he spend any money on the course this year?

Fairways and Greens (and no Townhouses!)

"Help me if you can I'm feeling down" - I also think I must be lost.

I was searching for Elvis and somehow ended up in your blog, but you know I'm sure I saw him on the golf course yesterday. Now this is strange because usually I see him in the supermarket.

Honest really, last time I saw him there he was right in front of me, next to the steaks singing "Love me Tender".

He said to me (his lip was only slightly curled) "Boy, you need to get yourself a shiny, new lcd tv to go with that blue suede sofa of yours.

But Elvis said I, In the Ghetto nobody has a lcd tv .

Dude I'm All Shook Up said Elvis. I think I'll have me another cheeseburger.

Then I'm gonna go home, put ma dancin' suit on, munch me some uppers and freak out to that maaaaaaaaad surfing scene in Apocalypse Now on ma lcd tv .

How cool is that boy?

And then he just walked out of the supermarket singing. . .

"You give me love and consolation,
You give me strength to carry on "

Strange day or what? :-)

Well I just got back from karate lessons and I am so tired. I am currently doing some research for college and came across your blog. Which makes me laugh really. The internet can certainly bring you in the opposite direction. Even though your blog site is not completely related I think your doing a great job. I have read back through the archives and lots of people make some very valid points. Well I have been on-line forever it seems. I need to continue to plug away at golf equipment accessory. If you have the energy swing by our site. I try to update my site weekly and maybe you will see something you like. I already snagged your URL and put it in my favorites. If you do not mind I will be back again. Great job! Sincerely golf equipment accessory.
