9. Sad to see Doral used like that

I attended the PGA event beginning in the late '60s. Now it is gone, thanks to Trump and his hateful emphasis. Sponsors bailed and PGA commissioner Tim Finchem took the World Golf Championship event to Mexico. It is particularly damaging to South Florida because golf is slumping nationwide and that's only exaggerated due to South Florida demographics. We really needed that annual spotlight, to keep kids involved in the sport.

Speaking of demographics, the Doral area is among the most heavily Hispanic in the Miami area. Doral itself is 80% Hispanic, compared to 65% in Dade County overall. So Trump is essentially bragging about geographic normalcy when he says 80% of his Doral employees are Hispanic.
