Donald Trump says golf world has supported him after disparaging remarks ... - For The Win

Businessman-turned 2016 presidential candidate Donald Trump has been facing a trove of criticism since his controversial remarks about Mexican immigrants in his campaign’s launch speech two weeks ago.

“When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best,” Trump said to the assembled New York crowd. “They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.”

Univision pulled its coverage of Trump’s co-owned Miss USA and Miss Universe pageants after the comments â€" which resulted in Trump banning Univision employees from his golf courses and filing a $500 million lawsuit against the company. NBC announced on Monday that it would also end its relationship with Trump.

Golf Channel reporter Tim Rosaforte caught up with Trump, who owns a number of golf courses around the world that host a series of big events, to see if he’s faced similar backlash from within the golf. And, according to Trump, he hasn’t:

“I’ve had tremendous support from the golf world, because they all know I’m right,” Trump said. “I’ve been great to golf. I’ve been investing while everybody else was fleeing.”

The support has not been met in the business world. Both Univision and NBCUniversal severed ties with Trump earlier this week.

He continued:

“I haven’t heard one negative thing and frankly I don’t expect to.”

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
