Tom Fazio beginnt mit der Renovierung des East Potomac Golf Links

Der renommierte Golfplatz-Architekt Tom Fazio setzt Pläne zur Renovierung des East Potomac Golf Links in Washington, D.C., auf Wunsch von Präsident Trump um. Ziel des Projekts ist es, den fast ein Jahrhundert alten städtischen Golfplatz in eine Anlage auf Meisterschaftsniveau zu verwandeln, Entwässerungsprobleme zu beheben und gleichzeitig den öffentlichen Zugang zu gewährleisten.

Der 81-jährige Fazio hatte das Angebot zunächst aufgrund von Bedenken hinsichtlich der Genehmigungsverfahren und lokalem Widerstand abgelehnt, änderte seine Meinung jedoch nach einer Besichtigung des Geländes. Er hat bereits zuvor mehrere Plätze für Trump entworfen und beschrieb den Standort hinsichtlich seiner Lage und des Blicks auf das Washington Monument als qualitativ vergleichbar mit Pebble Beach.
