President Donald Trump is a member of the elite Winged Foot Golf Club in Westchester
New York.
It's now being reported that members have had to come out swinging because the club
is refusing to honor him by putting up an official portrait of the President.
Insiders report that the Republican members amongst the 800 total members of the exclusive
golf club which charges as much as $200,000 in initiation fees have been lobbying to put
up a portrait of President Trump inside Winged Foot's stone clubhouse.
But opponents are refusing to do so.
One insider went on to state that President Donald Trump has been a member since 1969
and there is a big push to honor him at the club.
He later also added that all members should be proud that the president of the United
States is a current member of Winged Foot, "It is prestigious to have him here."
But the senior club management thinks otherwise.
The club was contacted for an official statement on the matter but there has been no reply
as of yet.
Although there is speculation that the decision not to honor President Trump is either to
avoid driving a wedge between members, some of which include many prominent New York law
firm partners and investment bankers who are left-leaning in political views, or a financial
move so as not to offend any charities or organizations that may wish to hold events
there.
President Trump was quick to respond to the fact that he has his own golf courses that
people would prefer to go to over this one who showed disrespect to our commander in
chief.
Trump Golf Links Ferry Point
Course Overview
Trump Golf Links Ferry Point is a 222-acre parcel in the Throgs Neck section of the Bronx,
located on the east side of the Bronx-Whitestone Bridge, which crosses the East River and connects
the Bronx with the borough of Queens.
It's bordered by housing to the east, while the western boundary is lined by the Hutchinson
River Parkway, and the course can be easily accessed from all of New York City's boroughs.
The 7,400-yard Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course, designed in consultation with Sanford
Design, will be operated by the Trump Golf team and will be a part of the global golf
portfolio of native New Yorker and avid golfer Donald Trump.
Scheduled to open to the public in 2015, with some programming—primarily junior golf—available
in the summer 2014, Ferry Point will offer spectacular views of the Manhattan skyline
from most of its 18 holes.
Ferry Point will be a nearly treeless, Irish links-style course, designed to look mature
from its early years and featuring tall, flowing native grasses and dunes with teeing grounds
that rise as high as 55 feet above grade.
"I think Ferry Point will be a tremendous golf experience," Nicklaus said.
"I've been asked to create something that is world-class, a source of pride for New
York City, and if they wanted to hold a national or international event, a course that will
be a strong golf course from the back tees.
Most important, the course needs to service the needs of those in the Metropolitan New
York area who hopefully will play Ferry Point.
"Ferry Point was created to be a unique public golf experience and it is our collective
hope that the golf course will add to New York City's global reputation, enhance New
York's reputation for quality golf, and give the proud residents of New York City
a place to play and call home.
Donald Trump has a deep-rooted love for New York City and he deserves a great deal of
credit for getting Ferry Point to the finish line and for delivering it to the golfers
and golf fans of New York."
The golf experience at Ferry Point will not only be a uniquely special one, with spectacular
views and aesthetics, its strength will be the strategy and shot values integrated by
Nicklaus, the world's preeminent course designer.
The Golden Bear, recognized as history's greatest golfer, has been involved in the
design of nearly 300 golf courses worldwide.
His renowned Nicklaus Design firm has created more than 380 golf courses in 36 countries
and 39 states.
More than 100 Nicklaus Design golf courses have hosted a combined total of more than
750 professional tournaments or significant national championships.
"If you are going to have a golf course that has the ability to host a high-profile
national or international event, you have to have some spice in it," Nicklaus added.
"Our goal as a public golf course is to have it play well on a daily basis and serve
the needs of those golfers who visit Ferry Point.
But when asked to host an event, we believe we have the ability to move to the back tees,
hide the pins, and create a test of golf fitting of any tournament or championship."
The course is part of a city-funded redevelopment project.
The park was originally built during the construction of the Bronx-Whitestone Bridge completed in
1939, and for two decades after World War II, Ferry Point was used as a landfill.
The Jack Nicklaus-designed course will be the first championship-level course in New
York City and will help meet the high demand for golf in the metropolitan area, as the
city's 13 existing municipal golf courses typically boast full tee sheets.
Are you freaking kidding me?
Now the picture of our president it offensive?
Many of us were very offended having to look at former president Barack Hussein Obama's
picture for 8 long and dark years, but we survived.
The left will survive seeing Trump's picture for 7 more years.
