Help golf blogger buy private island, create World peace

So lets say you have the gross national product of South Africa stuffed in your bank account, and use krugerrands in vending machines just for the rush. If that’s the case, here’s a potential Holidays gift idea – a private Caribbean golf resort designed by Pete Dye and P.B. Dye.

According to Robb Report magazine’s “Ultimate gift guide,” the resort includes it’s own island, the Dye-designed 18-hole course, a 5,000 square-foot clubhouse, which comes with eight bedrooms. The price tag: $62 million.

Now, I figured this out, and all I need is to get every human being on the planet to donate just one penny and the joint is mine. Plus, it’s really something that will pull the entire world together behind a simple, positive mission: Getting a slightly demented golf blogger his own Island golf resort. If it all comes together, I guarantee there will be peace on Earth.

So I need you guys to start spreading the word. Lets make this happen.

Sounds like you can't miss. I'm in for a penny, where should I send it?

Crud. I forgot about where I'd put all the pennies. This shouldn't be a deal-breaker, though.

Anyone have a big backyard?

Do you accept paypal? I'll throw in 500 pennies if the big donors get invited to stay and play.

The Golfchick never fails to get behind a cause. Unfortunately, I've decided that I need to stay true to the pennies theme.

So sure you can donate 500 pennies, but I can't guarantee a tee time. It will, however, take 499 other people off the hook for their pennies, for which they'll be grateful.

Does this bring people together, or what?

I'm in for a few pennies.

I just got some more advetising on my blog, so I'll cover several people.

Merry Christmas !
