Lights. Camera. Action!

Citing a recent ClubCorp mandate to develop new sources of revenues in advance of the company's forthcoming IPO, LCCC General Manager Ron Woolard announced that the front nine of the golf course will be closed until further notice.

 

In an exclusive off-camera interview with The Hosel Rocket, Woolard confided that he had recently signed a lucrative deal with 20th Century Fox, which will be renting the front nine to film a remake of the classic 1954 motion picture, Creature From The Black Lagoon.

 

 

"Look, my plan for reinventing Las Colinas was never intended to be just about the members. It's the ability to create special moments for our investor partners, too, and what could be more special than money?", said Woolard.  "When Steven Spielberg called to present the idea and offered $75/day to rent the front nine, how could I refuse?  Plus, anyone who wants to play 18 holes can just play the back nine twice. Now, that's what I call a win/win!!"

"IT'S ALIVE!  IT'S ALIVE!!" 

After first retaining Bob Dray as technical advisor for the film ("The guy knows the bottom of that pond like the back of his hand...", marveled Spielberg), auditions began last Saturday afternoon on the murky banks adjacent to the #8 green.

 

In a stunning turn of events, LCCC member Tim Wilson was selected for the starring role in the film after turning in a tour de force screen test ("Daniel Day Lewis has nothing on this guy," said executive producer, Clint Eastwood), with recently elected LCCC Board of Governors president Liza Slosson cast in a supporting role as the Creature's beguiling love interest ("Beautiful....yet terrifying in her own way", gasped Spielberg).

 

With production scheduled to wrap-up by April 2014, the film is scheduled to be in theatres next summer.
