Is Donald Trump In Doonbeg A Good Thing? I’ll Say Yes

You’ve read the papers, you’ve watched the film about Trump in Scotland and you’ve watched The Apprentice, so is the arrival of Donald Trump in Doonbeg, Ireland a terrible thing?

PD*9313043I’m going to say it’s not.  I’m going to say it could be a good thing.  Here’s why.

Looking at Trump golf projects to date, they have (to my knowledge at least) been massive  from the ground up projects.  Starting  with a square of land, some diggers, and a bunch of people lying under the wheels is pretty much standard fare for their developments.  The often ruthless methods used to get the project completed in Scotland were a PR disaster.  Not making much a case yet am I?

But Donald Trump is a shrewd man, and though he may not admit it in public, he’ll have learned from that mistake.  He starts out (as he did in Scotland) with a clean slate and a new friend in Ireland, and this time he’s not intending a messy break up by text.

Yes the Trump organization has bought Doonbeg because they got it at a knockdown price, but perhaps even more important to them is that it’s an already completed project.

In purchasing a fully functioning golf course and facilities, Trump this time avoids all the ugliness and can get straight down to what he does best; business.  Not only that, but I’m going to bet that apart from a bit of physical finessing around the ages and a new business model,  Doonbeg will see very little change.  I’ll also wager that the present management and staff, who I can attest do an excellent job, will be reassured by the new owner that their jobs will be safe.

Sure, Doonbeg might bet held up as a two finger salute to Scotland every now and again, but for this omelette I expect very few eggs to be broken.

 

I’d love to read your thoughts in the comment box.

Two Naked Pics Of Holly Sonders. The Big News To Emerge From The 2013 PGA Show

Image
The media centre at the 2013 PGA Show was buzzing yesterday.  Not because of anything that happened at the show.  God forbid! When I rocked in, several men (and one woman) were gathered around an iphone ogling and sharing  two pics of who they claimed were Holly Sonders naked. Now I have to hold my hands up and say, I had to google her to find out she’s from The Golf Channel. I don’t watch the Golf Channel because I don’t have an erectile dysfunction problem or need to rent a car from National.  I’m told adverts for both are all that’s on that channel. How they knew for certain it was her, I dont know.  Unless the cheeks of her ass were on her passport photo and they recognized them from there, but I doubt it. The First Pic The first pic is taken from behind. No pun intended.  The media guys say it was taken by her fiancee (?) and shows Holly in a white thong which has disappeared a dangerously long ways into the bummage.  I’m talking two aerial liquitabs and a hot whit

Sarah Stirk Nipple Gate: Navy Top Leaves Viewers Disappointed

Image
London: Sky Sports management this morning issued a statement  apologizing to subscribers after Sarah Stirk wore a navy dress live on air.  It is believed up to 60,000 horny golfers were left limp after they tuned in to final round coverage of the Valero Texas Open in the hope of getting a glimpse of the legendary Stirk starter buttons. “I pay my subscription, I’m bloody well entitled to see Sarah’s Wimbledon strawberries” said factory worker Paul Manning 52 from Hereford. “I even missed the ten minute freeview, coz my mate Derek tweeted that Stirk was going into the shot centre for ten minutes at 11pm”. The Sky statement read: We apologize unreservedly for the navy dress Sarah wore during last nights broadcast, through which no nipples were visible. This was due to a wardrobe malfunction. However we do intend to rectify this during our US Masters coverage and assure viewers that plenty of bridge rivets will be on show, both from Sarah and special guest Colin Montgomeri
