Today's Golfer (UK)

Poor precedent

-

I’ve been astonished by the press reaction to the news that Rory Mcilroy played a round of golf with Mr Trump (right). Anyone who knows anything about sport will be aware that there are many links between sports teams and multimilli­onaires. But to suggest that Rory supports the same political or ideologica­l beliefs as the US President, just because he spent a few hours in his company, is unacceptab­le. Golf is a game built on manners and good etiquette, and Rory has honoured these traditions by graciously accepting an invitation from the US President.
