  Oppy... I believe Mike Keiser is the genius behind the Bandon Dunes complex.  Last I heard he was still alive and about to open Old MacDonald in the same place.  Check it out here: http://www.bandondunesgolf.com/

  There is also a great read on the design and architecture of Old MacDonald.

  And if you're ever there remember to sip a single malt at McKee's Pub after an invigorating round.

  I have not been out there yet, hopefully I will soon though. This is good news that this guy is still alive then, maybe there is still a chance The Lido will be restored

  Yes, he is still alive.  He is the creator of the company: American Greetings Cards Inc. and a billionaire.

  It was also interesting to click on the names of the forum and find out that all but one are still playing the game.
