Tom Fazio comienza los trabajos de renovación de East Potomac Golf Links

El aclamado diseñador de campos de golf Tom Fazio avanza con los planes para renovar East Potomac Golf Links en Washington, D. C., a petición del presidente Trump. El proyecto tiene como objetivo transformar el campo municipal, de casi un siglo de antigüedad, en una instalación de nivel de campeonato, al tiempo que aborda problemas de drenaje y preserva el acceso público.

Fazio, de 81 años, rechazó inicialmente la oferta debido a preocupaciones sobre los permisos y la oposición local, pero cambió de opinión tras recorrer el lugar. Ha diseñado anteriormente múltiples campos para Trump y describió la ubicación como poseedora de una calidad similar a Pebble Beach en cuanto a su entorno y vistas del Monumento a Washington.
