Abstract/Contents: | Profiles David Creighton of Port Arthur, Ontario, Canada. Discusses Creighton's career in the National Hockey League (NHL) and his transition to the golf course industry. States that "after a number of years [Creighton] came to realize that his hockey career would inevitably come to an end, and he needed to prepare himself for a career change." Discusses Creighton's investments in golf courses including the Northdale Golf and Tennis Club in Tampa, Florida which he sold in 2000 for $5.2 million. Concludes that "having been brought up in the Depression, he learned the value of money at an early age and practiced frugality all his life. A dollar saved is a dollar earned, became his motto. He also has great faith in his family and entrusts them with positions of responsibility in his organization." |
