I'm watching the local news (instead of getting the sleep I know I need...), and there was piece about the opening of Donald Trump's newest golf course: the Trump National Golf Club, Washington, DC. This course used to be called the Lowes Island Golf Club and is located out in Loudoun County, in a subdivision that was under construction when I was still an active volunteer with the Sterling Rescue Squad. I remember visiting this golf course back when it was brand new, driving an ambulance along the golf cart trails as we tried to evaluate our access to the course if we were dispatched for a call there. I guess the original golf club was a victim of the economic downturn, which allowed Mr. Trump to acquire the property and invest in it. It sounds like he's trying to attract a PGA tournament to the course...it will be interesting to see if he can be successful.
