Senior PGA at Trump National This Week

Senior PGA at Trump National This Week May 24, 2017

RiverOfBloodThe Senior PGA Championship is being hosted this week at Trump National Golf Club, located on the Potomac River twenty-five miles northwest of Washington D.C. Law enforcement officials expect protests, at least along the river. Will The Donald show up for the tournament? He returns to Washington Saturday from his ten-day trip to the Middle East and Europe. So, the only day he could visit the tournament is Sunday. I doubt it will occur. He used to fly into Doral, Miami, in a helicopter to appear at the World Golf Championship event hosted at his Trump National Doral. But that was the big, regular Tour, not the old guys. Doral was one of my favorite tournaments to play on the PGA Tour.

Trump reportedly has visited this golf course near the nation’s capital four times during the first four months of his presidency. So much for him criticizing former President Barak Obama for playing too much golf when he was president.

Near the fifteen tee at this Trump National Golf Club is a plaque entitled “The River of Blood.” It supposedly commemorates many soldiers that died there in a Civil War battle, with Trump’s name appended. But historians claim no such battle was fought there. Is The Donald turning out Fake News to enrich his golf course?
