Former president Donald Trump has taken a swipe at the organizers of the British Open which is being hosted at the Royal St. George's in Kent in the southeast of England instead of at Trump's own golf course resort in Scotland.
'I have spent some time watching The Open Championship (formerly known as The British Open), and it is terrific! But as almost all of the great players, sportscasters, and golf aficionados know, the greatest site and course of all for The Open is Turnberry, in Scotland,' Trump said in an email on Saturday.
'It is truly a magical place, the players want to be there, and at some point in time the players will be there,' he added in the message sent from his official post-presidential email account.
'It is a shame that the phenomenal Turnberry Golf links, the best in the World, sits empty during Open Championships, while far lesser courses are on display. Oh well, life proceeds forward! Someday The Open will be back at Turnberry,' Trump continued.
