Ex-US President Donald Trump's Scottish Golf Course Blacklisted Until The Former President Sells His Resort

By -


Donald Trump's Turnberry golf course in Scotland has reportedly been barred from hosting The Open until the former President sells his resort.

The former US President bought the golf course in 2014, five years after the last time it staged the storied competition.

Speaking on GB News in early May whilst visiting the course, Trump claimed that 'everybody wants to see the Open championship here,' adding that only a few 'minor adjustments' would have to made to ready the course.

As per the Telegraph, the tournament's organising body the R&A are adamant that Turnberry remains out of contention as a host.

Trump is believed to have been told that his course would not be considered for the honour after the attack on the Capitol in January 2021, due to the perceived threat of potential protests at the event.

A source inside the company stressed that the position was 'unchanged', adding: 'We have no plans to stage any of our championships there in the foreseeable future and will not return until we are convinced that the focus will be on the championship, the players, and the course itself'.

Another added: 'The way it looks now, how would have to sell up before anything changes'.  

The lasting decision will come as a blow to the former President, who has been keen to show off his links to the R&A.

In the interview with GB News, Trump shared that he had recently invested heavily in redeveloping the course on the advice of the company's former chief executive Peter Dawson.

'It was done with a great architect,' Trump said. 'A great golf architect recommended by Peter Dawson. I said, give me the best one and (that's) Martin Grant Hawtree. He's a fabulous guy, a fabulous man. What he does is this type of course, he really did a great job.'

  The Synagogue Church of all Nations (SCOAN) has countered the BBC documentary on the late Temitope Babatunde Joshua, known as TB Joshua, founder of SCOAN. SCOAN described the documentary against TB Joshua as unfounded, and that the characters interviewed in the report were unknown to the church. The church, in a statement signed by its Public Affairs Director, Mr Dare Adejumo, said the statement was aimed at disabusing public minds from the report. The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that the BBC released a highly controversial and damning documentary on the late TB Joshua on Monday, accusing him of various crimes, including rape, against some members. SCOAN said, “BBC World Services investigative unit, code-named Africa Eye, came out this week with weird and strange episodes of atrocities against the late founder of SCOAN.” It said that to investigate and publish or broadcast reports was a central kernel of journalism, but to do so outside the ethics and fundamental principles

NBA officials called his actions "conduct detrimental to the league." They did, however, note that they "did not find evidence that he engaged in any sexual or other misconduct apart from these brief exposures." "Primo maintains that his conduct was not intentional," the league said.
