What have I done for golf, and how would I compare my contributions and accomplishments to those of Donald Trump? First off, I'm going to print that question on a big 24x36 poster, hang it above my desk, and use it as motivation everyday. To answer, the fact that you don't know who I am or what I've done makes me feel pretty good about my career thus far.
As for Donald: I believe he's falling well short of sustainable development i.e., "development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs." This is evidenced by the new Bronx course, Aberdeen, and Colts Neck. All three have well-documented social and/or environmental concerns. Sustainability has three legs: social, environment, economic. He's getting by pretty well on a one-legged stool, but eventually it's going to tip. When it happens, all those benefits about reclaimed land and local employment will be gone.
As for Doral, $150 million to buy and $150 million to renovate. I fundamentally disagree with that development philosophy. Which ties into your first comment, buying clubs that otherwise wouldn't have been rescued. In fact, Doral would've been rescued without Trump. They had other bids on the property, but Trump won, rightfully so, with the highest bid. However, if you believe courses like Doral are the ones that need rescuing then we don't have much more to talk about.
