Trump’s golf segment suffered more damage

On January 14, the New York mayor’s office announced the termination of the contract with the Trump Group to manage and operate three entertainment venues, including the Trump Golf Links course at Ferry Point. They say the deal in the two amusement parks ends in 30 days and the golf course could take months due to more complicated terms.

“The president has instigated a revolt against the US government and deflects the constitutional transfer of power. We are promoting the cancellation of the entire Trump Group contract. New York City is not. want to be involved in such unforgivable acts “, the text quoted the mayor Bill de Blasio.

Outgoing President Donald Trump is the president of the Trump Organization, and Eric Trump, his son, holds the position of Vice Chairman and holds direct control.

After a call for “fight” from Trump was supposed to provoke, on January 6, a crowd of supporters flooded the Capitol in Washington as the US Congress was about to approve the results of the presidential election for a new term, with an advantage in favor of Joe Biden. The riots killed five people. Four days later, the American Professional Golf Association (PGAA) announced unilaterally canceling the contract to host major PGA Championship 2022 at Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey.

In response to the New York government’s decision, Eric said: “New York City does not have the legal right to terminate contracts. This is nothing more than political discrimination that violates the First Amendment and they I will fight hard. If they go ahead, they will owe the Trump group more than $ 30 million. “

The same day New York canceled the contract, the sheet Palm Beach Post in Florida, said local government attorney Howard Falcon is reviewing the file so that he can end his contract with the Trump Group. This document allows the partner to lease land as the Trump International Golf Club in the Palm Beach district for $ 88,338 per month. This is an indispensable place in the reception every time Mr. Trump goes to the nearby Mar-a-Lago resort to receive high-ranking domestic and foreign personalities.

Lawyer Falcon said that the Palm Beach district is unable to cancel the agreement because the contract does not include a “bad boy” clause. This provision allows the contract to be terminated in the event of an involved party committing bad acts, being investigated for wrongdoing or even filing the papers on time.

The Palm Beach lease dates back to the 1990s after Trump sued the administration with a claim of $ 75 million. At that time, Trump argued that the noise of planes going up and down Palm Beach International Airport affected the Mar-a-Lago resort. The case was resolved in 1996 with a contract to lease 86.6 hectares of land south of the airport to build an 18-hole yard. In 2002, the district added a contract for Trump to add a nine-hole yard. Both contracts are for a 99-year term and the Trump side pays monthly rentals.

Formerly a garbage dump, the golf course at Ferry Point is owned by the New York government, designed by the great golfer Jack Nicklaus’s own company with a construction cost of 127 million USD. It has been operated and operated by the Trump Organization since its opening in 2015.

Besides organizing top golf events according to the intention of the host government, the course is also famous for its natural decorative backdrops such as skyscrapers in Manhattan or the Whitestone Bridge. Despite being in a field for a common career and has not yet attracted a major, the green fee at Ferry Point is expensive – 185 USD for 18 holes at the weekend.

Including Ferry Point, the Trump Group owns or operates 19 golf properties around the world, of which 12 are in the US.

In Scotland, Trump is the owner of the Turnberry Stadium, repeatedly hosting The Open Championship – major of Royal & Ancient (R&A). But since Trump was elected President, R&A has eliminated Turnberry from the round of 10 rotating tournament venues.

Particularly, the Blue Monster Stadium of Trump Doral in Miami is the WGC – Cadillac Championship match spot from 2007-2016. However, from 2017 – the same year Trump took office, the tournament moved to Mexico.
