A pair of golf enthusiasts have sued the Trump administration over a plan to overhaul a public golf course in Washington D.C. to make way for a new “world-class” green, championed by the president.
Dave Roberts and Alex Dickson, who are bringing the lawsuit, say the Interior Department has overlooked important health reviews when moving forward with the project that would see East Potomac Golf Links remade, The Washington Post reports.
Trump, who is an avid golfer, has begun moves to take control of Potomac Golf Links and other public courses, arguing that they are in need of significant refurbishment.
“We’re going to make it a beautiful world-class U.S. Open-caliber course,” the president told reporters in January. “Ideally, we’re going to have major tournaments there and everything else. It’s going to bring a lot of business into Washington.” HERE
Must they just take over and Mar A Largo-nize everything?
The whole point of public golf courses is provide affordable non membership places without exorbitant green fees for the average Joe, their friends, their families can go and enjoy the sport of golf. Masters winner Lee Elder was a product of one of those public courses that the Trump org wants to basically destroy for everyone else through an underhanded power move.
