This is a good team.
President Trump has announced he’s teaming up with golfing legend Jack Nicklaus.
The partnership is part of a new renovation plan for Joint Base Andrew’s golf course.
The Hill reported more details on the partnership:
President Trump said Jack Nicklaus, the retired professional golfer, will oversee an overhaul of the golf courses at Joint Base Andrews. Trump told reporters he was tapping Nicklaus as the architect of the project on Saturday before boarding Marine One to head to Andrews, where he later took an aerial tour of the landscape.
“We’re doing some fix-up of the base, which it needs. We’re going to try and reinstitute the golf courses. I’m meeting with the greatest Jack Nicklaus,” Trump said.
“He’s involved in trying to bring their recreational facility back,” he added, calling it a “great place that has been destroyed over the years through lack of maintenance, so we’ll fix that up, and Jack will be the architect and he’ll design it.”Trump said the project would address “two existing courses that are in very bad shape” and said, “We can, for very little money, fix it up.”

President Trump is not the only person in the Trump family who is an avid golfer.
His granddaughter Kai Trump recently competed in a LGPA event.
Sports Illustrated reported more on how Kai performed on the greens:
The 18-year-old granddaughter of the president, making her LPGA debut at the Annika on a controversial sponsor’s exemption, hit her approach on Pelican Golf Club’s par-4 18th to a few feet. Trump would miss her birdie putt, but she made the comebacker and signed for a second-round, 5 over 75—an 8-shot improvement from her first round on Thursday.
In last place by six strokes on the 108-player leaderboard, Trump called Friday’s round “very calm and peaceful.” The first round, however, wasn’t quite that. And it’s reflected on her scorecard.
“For the first day, I was definitely really nervous,” Trump said after Round 2. “I think the nerves just got to me.”
Trump added a tremendous amount of attention to the LPGA’s penultimate tournament of the season, which hosted by Hall of Famer Annika Sorenstam. Trump wasn’t necessarily granted the exemption because of her junior golf career. Yes, she’s talented and will play collegiately at the University of Miami next year. But she’s 461st in the American Junior Golf Association rankings and shot 52 over par in last year’s Junior Invitational, an exclusive, 24-player tournament.
