Trump’s firm, the creator of the well-known course, is facing mandatory fire.
It’s possible that one of Donald Trump’s golf courses in Scotland will close.
After being elected president in 2016, the US president resigned as a director of the magnificent Trump Turnberry resort in Ayrshire.
Turnberry offers stunning views of the Firth of Clyde and three links golf courses. Before being acquired for $60 million in 2014, it hosted The Open four times.
It was reopened during World War II after being rebuilt, and it had been open for more than a century until Trump, a great golfer, acquired it.
Eric Trump, Donald’s son and Kai’s uncle, who is nearly as skilled as her grandfather at the game, is now the sole owner of the club’s parent firm, Golf Recreation Scotland Limited.
Due to its failure to submit the necessary documentation at the beginning of this year, Golf Recreation Scotland Limited has received an official notice from Companies House.
“After failing to submit a confirmation statement by February 25th of this year, Companies House served the golf course’s owner with a first gazette notice for compulsory strike off,” according to Jon Robinson of the financial news outlet City AM.
“A confirmation statement includes details of a firm’s directors, shareholders, registered office address and other key data.”
Trump Turnberry and its other assets would belong to the Crown if the firm was struck off, and Eric Trump may be barred from serving as a director for up to 15 years.
Since the company’s bank accounts would also be frozen, it is likely that the documents will now be filed.
“The strike off notice could be discontinued by Companies House if a confirmation statement is filed before the next stage is reached,” states City AM.
American Stewart Cink defeated fellow countryman Tom Watson in a four-hole play-off on Turnberry’s par-71 Ailsa course to win his only major in 2009, the last time the venue hosted The Open.
Donald Trump is notorious for his love of golf, and accusations of systematic cheating follow him like an overly enthusiastic caddy around the fairways.
The media was once assured by staff at another of Trump’s courses that they would ensure he received a good lie.
