The 19th Hole Golf Show – 2/6/14 – Donald Trump, Doral and golf

FOLLOW: iHEART | TUNEIN


On this week's edition of The 19th Hole Golf Show, Ryan Ballengee talks about the unveiling by Donald Trump of the new Doral Resort & Spa, which he purchased and poured $100+ million into, including a Gil Hanse-led redesign of the Blue Monster.

It's not Trump's role -- neither as businessman, nor ambassador for the sport -- to appeal to the common denominator. So who will?
