Some of New York’s most exclusive golf clubs would not let President Barack Obama play over Labor Day weekend, according to a report.
The Trump National Golf Club, Winged Foot and Willow Ridge rejected requests to let Obama tee off, which may have required the clubs to close their doors to regular members, WNBC reported.
White House staffers allegedly gave just a day or two of notice to golf courses in the area where the president was scheduled to stay on Friday evening after attending fundraising events in New York and Rhode Island.
Representatives of all three golf courses declined to comment to POLITICO. The White House did not immediately respond to POLITICO for comment.
Labor Day weekend is one of the busiest times for golf courses, and courses may not have wanted to inconvenience members, who can pay $100,000 a year or more in initiation fees, it was reported.
WNBC noted that while the president was scheduled to stay in Westchester County, N.Y., for a wedding the next day between MSNBC host Alex Wagner and White House chef Sam Kass, the White House told the media on Aug. 28 that Obama would not be staying in New York overnight. Instead, Obama spent Friday evening in Washington, D.C., and flew back north on Saturday afternoon.
I’d hate to see something happen to this nice looking golf course you have here.
This was uplifting and refreshing considering all the bad news. I’d ban him from miniature golf courses as well.
Dat’s racis.
Dat’s racis.
I’d pay $$$ to see the Donald at his desk making THAT decision. I assume the ratings would be R for Language. Hee Hee.
I wouldn’t want that duffwad within a thousand miles of me.
