The Four Families To Donald Trump: "Inconsistent with our strong commitment to an inclusive and welcoming environment in the game of golf."

While he didn't wake up all Jack Waltz-style with a thoroughbred's head in his bed, Donald Trump has received a decent slap-down from four of the five families. (Don Payne of the Augusta Corleones wisely has stuck to the family business of olive oil and never ventured into Trump territory even though Sonny Ridley has begged him to give Donald a membership.)

Here is the statement issued following Trump's comments yesterday to Tim Rosaforte and from the PGA Tour, PGA of America, USGA or LPGA Tour. Each is in business or has been in business with Trump properties (Official partnershps with the R&A at Turnberry and European Tour at Trump International could happen at some point, too.)

"In response to Mr. Trump's comments about the golf industry "knowing he is right" in regards to his recent statements about Mexican immigrants, we feel compelled to clarify that those remarks do not reflect the views of our organizations.  While the LPGA, PGA of America, PGA Tour and USGA do not usually comment on Presidential politics, Mr. Trump's comments are inconsistent with our strong commitment to an inclusive and welcoming environment in the game of golf."

I don't want to be picky, but no threat of pulling an event from a Trump hosted course? Or consideration given to such a concept? 

Still, it's a start in perhaps reminding Trump that it's nothing personal, just business.

How will Donald reply?
