It has emerged that several exclusive golf clubs in New York wouldn’t let President Barack Obama play on their courses Labor Day weekend.
The Trump National Golf Club, the Winged Foot Golf Club and the Willow Ridge Country Club all turned down Obama, NBC New York reports.
The news station says the president’s advance team gave courses only a day or two of notice that Obama would be in the area. Clubs with memberships running upwards of $100,000 per year may have rejected the White House’s request to protect their wealthy members from being inconvenienced during the holiday weekend.
Obama ended up golfing at his customary course on the grounds of the Fort Belvoir military installation in Virginia the next day.
Who knew that the President of the United States could be banned in the United States?
