Poll: Should Trump’s course be stripped of the PGA?

[MarkT]

Trump National in Bedminster has been stripped of staging the PGA next year just days after a large group of Trump supporters illegally stormed the U.S. Capitol in protest of the recent presidential election.

"It has become clear that conducting the PGA Championship at Trump Bedminster would be detrimental to the PGA of America brand and would put at risk the PGA's ability to deliver our many programs and sustain the longevity of our mission."

(Know there are other threads - need a poll to go with it, ta)

Is this not a bit political??

 

[Captainron]

Should it?
It has been ?

I think they are after our opinion on whether it was the correct decision in your eyes.

It definitely shouldn't cause any arguments at least!

Blokes gone 10000% loony.

The thread? No.

PGA’s decision? Yes.

Should it be discussed on here? Most definitely.

Whilst I do not like trump, I don’t really think who owns a course would stop me playing it. I am far more likely to be out off by the cost of playing.

 

[sweaty sock]

What about all the other courses owned by Trump supporters?

Be interested to see how long he keeps most of them, once his loans have been called

I imagine he's a lot cleverer than people give him credit for, he'll be one step ahead that's for sure.
Now his presidential dream is over I'm interested on what he does next, concentrate fully on his courses or just sell them on ?

Hopefully he will sell Turnberry, they can remove the tacky carpets and signs with his name on them, reduce the fees so people can go there and play it without having to be there in the middle of winter or having to take a bank loan. His, and others to be fair, model of pricing high to attract the overseas golfer is a killer for us here.

I know a couple guys that play at Turnberry, Overall the members are very happy with the changes. It's much improved.

I stayed and played there 3 years ago, special birthday. I had not played it before so I have nothing to compare it against. It was fabulous. From the moment you arrrive, the staff, the practice area, the clubhouse, the hotel, the course, did I mention the staff , it is a wonderful experience. I'd be back like a shot if the pricing was more affordable. If they have not invited you for a game yet, guest rates, then you want to get on to them for this summer.

A necessary decision.

There shouldn’t be tour events in Saudi Arabia either.

Or China.

If the PGA and Golf as a whole take & agree with the Trump decision, then they shouldn't follow the money and host events in Countries with such questionable records.

I agree whole heartedly with your views on Saudi and China .

Saudi's actions blockading food and aid getting to Yemen is unfathomable. The rest of the world has turned a blind eye because of the dollar they spend. I also found it sad that the Ladies ET were promoting the event in Saudi and the legs and shoulders of the players had to be covered up.

China, with their latest antics of not allowing the WHO scientists into the country to try and determine the origins of Covid, (in order to help the vaccine process) is despicable.

I also agree the US Open should be moved.

I feel ranty this morning now

Why not just freeze all Trump’s assets and give him a cardboard box and direct him to a bridge so he can set up his new home?
Bloke needs a life lesson

 

[Deleted member 15344]

When he realises that he won’t get Majors and Tour events then he will sell off the courses apart from a couple in the US

Places like Turnberry, Aberdeen , Doonbeg make a significant loss each year

I can’t see him selling Aberdeen but Turnberry I believe will go and they would get the Open back

This thread reminds me I need to watch You've Been Trumped, meant to watch it years ago but completely forgot.

China's persecution of the uyghurs is way way worse than not allowing WHO into the country. Chuck in a bit of expansionism in the South China Sea, and there isn't a lot to like about them.

 

[SwingsitlikeHogan]

Absolutely (though a rather politically loaded question methinks )

 

[IanM]

Keeping the reply free of politics....

Absolutely the right decision. The use of his course will generate considerable adverse publicity for the event, its organisers, its sponsors and the game in general.
