The Donald: Golf Should Be Aspirational, For The Successful

The November Golf Digest will feature an interview (highlights here) with the uber-exposed Donald Trump as part of its "disruptors" feature and at least The Donald finally comes clean on his vision for golf: a rich man's game.

So much for those Scottish roots where the game started as very much a working man's pursuit back when they were whapping pebbles around.

On where grow-the-game efforts are flawed: "I would make golf aspirational, instead of trying to bring everybody into golf, people that are never going to be able to be there anyway. You know, they're working so hard to make golf, as they say, a game of the people. And I think golf should be a game that people want to aspire to through success."

Of course this means we have to use The Donald's definition of success, which might include wearing gold chains that would be the envy of Sammy Davis Jr., owning some hot red $500 driving moccasins and owning at least one jacket with a bold gold crest. Take that millennials!
