For a more upbeat analysis of the current state of the golf industry, look no further than Donald Trump. During a recent visit to Dubai, where he’s building a Gil Hanse-designed golf course, Trump dismissed the evidence of golf’s decline and various downbeat projections about the game’s future. “Worldwide, golf is the hottest thing there is, and in the U.S. it’s doing really, really well,” Trump told Arabian Business. “Nothing is really even close to it. You go to China, all over Asia, South America — golf is just booming.”
