It wouldn't have been a problem before the election and it wouldn't be a problem now.   Golf and politics are two separate beasts.   One I dislike and the other seems to be almost all encompassing.  

Nice pics @TheScratchList!

Umm... Yeah, just as I'd still stay at one of his hotels and/or casinos. As others have mentioned, I care more about the product than the man, though I really have nothing against him as a person eith

I will never again play a Trump course. I did play Doonbeg a couple of years ago right after he bought it and before he ran for President. Really good track and fun to play, but a little pricey. The excessive branding was almost comical, with TRUMP emblazoned on every available surface. A real eye-rolling experience and after the last year I will never put another penny in his coffers.

Really. It would be great if I could find a course where people who make all of their decisions about their relationships with other people based on politics didn't go. I wish there were bars like that too! Restaurants! Cafes! I wish there were all kinds of places that intolerant people automatically banned themselves from.

Seems to me as an Aussie that Trump has not actually done much to deserve all the crap. His rhetoric though is very harshly judged and seems to upset the academic and media types and lots of people dont seem to like his persona. Having said that I would not want to play his courses if they are so blatantly commercialised with his name. On the other hand that would not stop me playing Turnberry which is on every golfers bucket list.

Excessive branding? Sounds like jealousy. Last time I was at ANY hotel they had their name on everything in the place.

You know what I am really sick of? The Golf Channel! Every twenty minutes they cross promote MSNBC and feature a 30 second spittle flecked vomit of Trump bashing from Joe and Mika of Morning Joe. I think they should call it "cross-demotion." I used to have it on always in the background as I worked. I liked looking up at the golf courses when my eyes needed a rest from the computer, and I like golf. But who needs it? I am not a big Trump supporter either, I just want to have a place where I can go where politics is not first on the menu. It's a shame. They are going to the way of ESPN without even knowing it. I am sure that the Golf Channel has no control over the stuff that their owners at NBC put on in the promotional slots, but that doesn't change anything.

I guess I don't pay enough attention to the commercials.   The Golf Channel is usually on my TV but I'm almost immune from commercials.    Maybe because I've been married for so long, I've learned to tune things out.  (don't tell the SO)

x2.  Golf is aggravating enough without adding politics.

      Day 430 - 2025-12-04 Slow motion backswings (with chippy shots) with AlmostGolf balls.

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
