New Jumeirah Landscaping Beginning To Take Hold

I believe those are native plants sprouting around the unfinished homes that cameras will work hard to not show us at Jumeirah Estates during this week's Dubai event. Lawrence Donegan Tweets:

Subprime by the looks of it

I believe there are weapons of mass destruction being hidden in those shelled-out bungalows of Jumireah Estates.

But seriously, they have about the same presence as Tiger Wood's career.

Cinder blocks in the desert- just so beautiful.

Things sure look like they're rolling along in Dubai. Another poster child for crass consumption run amuck!

The archaeologists are going to be stumped by these ruins.
No worry. If need be, Mr. Trump can turn it to lemonade.

Johnson grass, the new greenerey of choice for GC design.

Crap- they are just as stupid as we are.

I don't think Dubai has native plants, outside a couple of oases and this course isn't at one of those. The natural landscape isn't desert in the sense of that course in Arizona where they play the WGC matchplay amidst towering cacti, it is desert in the sense of grey dust with nothing living in it.
