Trump vs. Tillinghast

August
27

There’s none of the usual gold leaf associated with all things Donald Trump, but he’s well represented on the leaderboard here at the the Met Open.

Andrew Giuliani (Trump National Westchester) slept on a one-stroke lead. Brett Jones (Trump National Bedminster) was tied for second, and Bill Britton (Trump National Colts Neck) trailed by six when the final round got underway this morning at Ridgewood Country Club.

I loved the reasoning.

“His golf courses are very tough, very demanding and they’re very penal,” said Giuliani. “If you get on a golf course like this after playing one of the Trump golf courses, you’re used to playing that kind of game where par’s a good score. I’d say even though Trump courses and Tillinghast courses were designed 75 years apart or wherever they may be, they present some of the same problems.”

Think he’s got a few political genes?

In you want to keep up with the leaders, the MGA is scoring hole-by-hole on its web set.
