Trump National stripped of 2022 US PGA

If we can divide the bill by the number of people willing to buy in then let’s go for it.....

As with the other thread, I only want to play 9 holes so I'm not willing to pay a share of 18. Also, I'm not going to use the practice facility ?

I have played 3 Trump courses, 2 of which weren't at the time. Doral, in Miami, reminded me of The Brabazon, a long and not very enjoyable slog, but with palm trees. Pinehill, now Trump National Phailadephia, is a pretty nice course in the hills of New Jersey near Pine Valley. Trump bought it after it collapsed in the financial crisis a while back. Trump National LA, near Long Beach, was the venue for one of the golf reality shows. It is a very unimpressive course, an 18 hole crammed into a space too small for it, with some vulgar adornments like the ubiquitous waterfall added.

They can crop up anywhere.

Come on Wee Nicola, nationalise Turnberry and Aberdeen? Give Orange Chops £10 for both!

It’s full price or you can sod right off.

I think whatever Trump is associated with will become political. There's no avoiding that, especially now. The PGA and R&A don't want to become targets or embroiled in the chaos that is going to ensue. I know by making that decision they are getting involved, but it's better to have that than mass protests at events. Look what happened when Trump visited the UK and I think it was turnberry that had protesters turn up.
I've worked plenty of protests for various locations that are associated with one way or another to something politically charged and it's messy. If I were head of PGA/R&A Security I'd be advising this to avoid having to plan for mitigation later on.

This is why I hate politics been brought into sport. It has no place for it I like my golf, I don’t want to be reminded every time I turn the tv on about what’s going on in the USA. I couldn’t give a damn The government over here are just as bad
