Aren't most golf courses going under? No one plays golf anymore.
"Aren't most golf courses going under"
"No one plays golf anymore"
Where DO you come up with this garbage, over and over?
As usual you haven't a clue!
"About 80 percent of all golfers, or 20 million of the 24.1 million, make up a committed base who accounted for 94 percent of all rounds played and equipment spending in 2015. Play among this group drove an overall increase in rounds played of 1.8% versus 2014, as reported by the National Rounds Played Coalition (comprised of NGF, Golf Datatech, PGA of America and NGCOA).
The twenty-somethings like Jordan Spieth, Jason Day, Rickie Fowler, Lexi Thompson and teenager Lydia Ko appear to be resonating. Beginners numbered 2.2 million in 2015, which compares favorably to the all-time high of 2.4 million in 2000, at the peak of Woods’ success when he won three major championships. And the biggest group of beginners in 2015 were Millennials.
Interest in playing golf is at an all-time high with an estimated 37 million non-golfers saying they are interested in taking up the game. And roughly 20 percent may already be making their first moves. In addition to the 24 million people who played golf on a golf course last year, another 7 million took part in the game at a driving range, a TopGolf facility or on an indoor golf simulator."
His "business sense" has nothing to do with why the people in that Scottish town, and indeed most people across the UK, think Trump is a loud-mouthed, unethical, insufferable, egomaniacle bully. And an imbecile.
Maybe so with the article although I'm not sure if he missed the point of Mr. Trump's campaign strategy?
He sold himself as being a successful business person. Yet, he declared almost a $billion dollars on his personal taxes about 2 decades ago. This is the only tax return the American people have been allowed to see. & not because Mr. Trump shared it. Another thought concerning that particular return, if business or corporate losses, why was the almost $billion dollar loss declared on his personal return?
It's worth noting Mr. Trump ran as a "loud-mouthed, unethical, insufferable, & egomaniacle bully" - apparently that was a good 'selling point'.
Old playbook. Zone for golf, lose money, close golf course, make apartments/condos. Happens by me all the time. At least 4 courses in the last 10 years.

During the worst economy since the great depression, Obama said that if he couldn't fix it in his first term, he didn't deserve a second term but, he ran anyway, many courses closed due to people NOT having the discretionary income they had and stopped MANY leisure activities including golf.
Several individual billionaires bought courses in my area and put a lot of money into them and are doing just fine right now.

Yep. I forgot to say he's a liar and a fraud, too.

Yes
It was another best seller when compared to Hillary. He could have shot someone on 5th Ave. and not lost a single voter. Stop He won. Time for the happy dance

Don the Con!
Yup, Dirty Don the Con has a nice ring of truth to it. & even Mr. Trump would agree it's better than the nickname given to him when he was a member of Howard Stern's 'Wack Pack'.
