northernscum Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 What's the thoughts on this loud-mouthed fool? Will his money and "influence" win the day, and earn him a place on the Scottish open course list in 2017? Will be pull the plug on all of his golf interests in Scotland if he is denied? Politics are entwined in this story as well, obviously. Which will make it far more juicy for the media Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flora MaDonald Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Controversial, I know, but I'd rather have a guy who loves the game owning courses, than some faceless mob like Diageo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biffer Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 He's already getting the open at his other course, so he won't throw the toys out of the pram. The Scottish open will end up at his course sometime soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Scottish open will end up at his course sometime soon 2017,2019 and 2020,but I would imagine there will be controversies before that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

northernscum Posted July 13, 2015 Author Share Posted July 13, 2015 The Scottish government are in a bit of a tricky situation with them being so heavily involved in the Scottish open (to the tune of £1m annual "sponsorship", i believe) and now many are trying to distance themselves from Trump following his comments about being assured the event in 2017 and then his bizarre outburst about Mexicans a few days ago. Seems like, if Trump was given some kind of unofficial indication that the 2017 championship would go to Balmedie, then all the guff he has come out with since has made it a bit of a political "hot potato".

Parklife Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Why? Because he's the only one to call the Mexicans out on their rampant rapist tendencies, perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ally Bongo Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Nobody listens to a word he says. The boy is a dick. Nice course at Balmedie though. A Reuters poll has him almost neck and neck with Jeb Bush ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParisInAKilt Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Because he's the only one to call the Mexicans out on their rampant rapist tendencies, perhaps? Never thought of it that way.

Possibly not the kind of bloke to piss off, especially when he is on the loose! A tunnel could appear in Trumps shower room any time now......
