In reply to the discussion: Trump moves on D.C. golf courses with notice to nonprofit [View all]muriel_volestrangler
(105,439 posts)34. A bit better explanation from the Daily Beast - it's about "promised renovations"
The group has been told by the Interior Department that theyve fallen behind on promised renovations and have been served a default notice that could see them lose their lease.
A spokesperson told the WSJ: National Links Trust respectfully disagrees with the characterization that we are in default.

More at the link - the NLT has been using obsequious language with Trump to keep the toddler from throwing a tantrum, but it sounds like he just wants to control All The Golf. I trust this group I'd never heard of far more than I trust anyone associated with Trump, so I presume they're telling the truth, and Trump and his idiots are lying.

Dear Dog in Heaven in Trump's warped and degrading mind the most important thing in the world is golf.

Why is the White House carting dirt to a golf course? It's a D.C. mystery

Having golfed more than a thousand times I find many golfers to be, well, assholes.

Can anyone explain what "a notice of default" is here, and why Trump has anything to do with municipal courses?

Definition. Yes they must have taken a loan from, I'm guessing, a Federal entity
