    From the lads who brought you 'You've Been Trumped', there's a 1 hour programme on tonight called 'The Dark Side of the Greens'... about how developers use golf as a smokescreen to develop big resorts. Um... we have a few of those!

    Yep, and it was fairly depressing. Dubrovnik especially. Not that Trump came out of it well... there's a surprise!

    Trump uses the line that either he's an expert or he disputes everything that contradicts his outrageous comments and "research"

    Overall, golf did not come out of it positively!!!

    I almost felt ashamed that I play golf.

    Trumps contribution just helped perpetuate the myth that only country club, millionaire types actually play golf

    Did not put golf in a positive light at all did it. As Paul says it gives the impression only snooty rich guys play golf the world over. Unfortunately whenever you get big business in any walk of life, average people get shat on by the big money men.

    Having been to places like palm springs and vegas and seen the golf courses it feels so wrong to have places like that with its vast waste of resources. That to me was the bigger story.
