The 19th Hole Golf Show: Why golf needs to ditch Donald Trump

FOLLOW: iHEART | TUNEIN


Donald Trump's fascist tone toward immigrants and Muslims is grounds for golf's most important bodies to disassociate themselves from the billionaire presidential candidate.

Also, in light of Matt Ginella's top-50 courses, we talk about the difficulty for middle-class players to play great public courses, and why finding those great affordable public courses would be a boon for the sport. We also applaud the USGA for working the American Society of Golf Course Architects to offer pro bono design services to lower-end facilities.
