Problem is Barack is a smart guy and knows golf courses are horrible investments right now. Young people want no part of it so they are going to slowly die.

Perhaps the purchase could be crowdsourced, and somehow added to The Barack Obama Presidential Center.

The Obama Library in Chicago has plans to expand the golf course already on the site. Tiger Woods is involved! Ha!

(a number of them should be going pretty cheap in the near future) and it then gets the PGA seal of approval?

Find a golf course owner who absolutely cannot stand Trump - which probably describes any course superintendent in an area that has one of Trump's courses as competition - and have him pay President Obama a small amount of money to license the use of Obama's name. Just think: in a few months there could be a whole chain of Barack Obama Golf Links from coast to coast.

Hawaiian location would set tone/style for
Southeastern US "reboot" of a classic course in need of a new identity. Most of Trump's properties would be better off planted to turnips!

And a shaved ice stand near the "19 th" hole!

I'd add a modification, if I could. Get Jeff Bezos to finance it. Soros would just be too obvious.
