Why are the Arabs so interested in buying golf?
Tell me all these things.
So there's two ways of looking at this.
One way of looking at this is that this is a duplicitous way of flattering the ego of, let's say, Donald Trump in this case, or whoever it happens to be.
And the other one is like, this is a pragmatic way of doing a deal with this geezer.
He's gonna go away.

He may well strike a ball on Sunday at the Irish Open.

Who knows?
He may well play what they call a project.
Um, which is to your point of the amateurs being able to play with the pros, all that sort of stuff.
But golf diplomacy is a thing.
It's definitely a thing, isn't
When you see in many, many sports, it's like the uh the Americans trying to break into football, for example, you know, in the nineteen seventies, George Best and Pele and Beckenbauer and all those guys went over.
And sometimes, you know, money repels people in sport because it actually
attacks the very basis upon which people are engaging with the sport, which is tradition and all that sort of stuff.
But let let's look at the other idea.
So big businesses in Ireland is golf tourism.
Explain where that is going, how significant it is, uh and what it does for the country.
