Trump At It Again
July 18th, 2007
On Monday, our orange friend, Donald Trump, decided to purchase the Running Horse golf course for $30 million. Originally, Running Horse was supposed
to be the site of a stop on this fall’s PGA tour; however, in early June the PGA announced that it was moving that stop to Port St. Lucie, Florida due to the Running Horse developers failing to meet PGA deadlines. Running Horse’s bankruptcy status not only also contributed to the PGA’s decision to take the course over the tour but also led to the course selling at a discount. Luckily, Trump knows a lot about bankruptcy so the course should be hosing over shareholders within a year or two.
To finance the purchase Trump plans on continuing to overstate the value of his real estate (to obtain more loans) while introducing the Trump Peanut Butter, Trump Computer Paper and Trump Prune Juice product lines. Ok, I’m kidding about the last part.
New Sport: PGA
July 13th, 2007
The Professional Golfers’ Association (PGA) is the latest addition to StadiumHunt’s growing array of pro leagues and their respective venues. The PGA is headquartered in sunny Palm Beach Gardens, FL and claims to be the largest working sports organization in the world with more than 28,000 members.
The PGA Tour is a separate entity and is apparently where all the action is. It operates PGA Tour, Champions Tour, and Nationwide Tour which are played mostly in the United States, with occasional events in Canada and Mexico, and one major championship in the United Kingdom in each of the first two listed.
Currently, you can catch the John Deere Classic on CBS for the next two days or go straight to the action with a trip to TPC at Deere Run in Silvis, IL.
