PGA will strip Trump Bedminster of 2022 PGA Championship, insider says

The golf major will be moved, according to a report.

 

I know that golf was a refuge for Trump, but this year we saw gains in rounds played.  Hard to say how 2021 will proceed, but I don't think golf will decline because of Trump.  Many presidents on both sides have played the sport while in office.  That being said, this issue is a bit different, because Trump directly benefits.  I think moving it is a good idea.  One of our core values is integrity.  We should hold ourselves to that.

Have you seen images of Mr. Trump's golf swing?  It's a somewhat athletic swing for his age.  If you go to the GHIN handicap site and do a "golfer lookup" you will discover that his handicap index is +2.3.

There was a whole book done about his golf cheating.....hes good for his age but his handicap is probably inflated by 8-10 strokes from what I've read.

I would bet after Jan. 20 he will have to putt the five footers.

I've read most of the excerpts from that book but I didn't want to get too political.  So, as I usually do, I followed a moderate path in my discourse.

In Scotland you have to putt them all out.

Not sure what you’re asking. Are you surprised because it’s over a year away?

Have you been under a rock?  Are you watching the news or reading the papers?  Ugly stuff is going on...

[jmanbooyaa]

I am surprised by the mention of moving the 2022 PGA Championship. 

I am not sure what ugly stuff you are referring to that would require the location of a tournament to be moved.

I think it absolutely does. 16 months or 16 years is not enough time to forgive and forget.

[jmanbooyaa]

What are you forgiving and forgetting?

To most Americans (not all) the Constitution has been defiled by a certain person.  The PGA nor the PTA should support that kind of person... ever.

I don’t believe your 1st statement to be anything more than your opinion.

You really are living under a rock.  Or under a divot chunk.  

One is entitled to the facts when they are substantiated. 

"A majority of the country believes President Donald Trump should be removed before President-elect Joe Biden is sworn in on Jan. 20 and two-thirds hold him accountable for the violent insurrection on Capitol Hill, according to a national poll released Sunday."

Good chance the course will be owned by the IRS by then.

[jmanbooyaa]

I suppose if you were to poll a certain type of person they would say that. 
 

A poll like that would not be substantiated.

Okay, man. C’mon.

Here’s a fact for you:

A president hasn't refused to attend the inauguration of his successor in 152 years. Donald Trump will change that

---

Trump will join presidents Andrew Johnson, John Adams and John Quincy Adams in choosing not to attend the inauguration of his successor.

We’re not discussing politics here, but get real. The guy is an asshole. Scum. A joke. He’s done more damage in the last three months to the U.S. on the world stage and internally than many of the worst people managed to do over years.
