The National Links Trust, currently in a struggle with the Trump administration to maintain control of three municipal golf courses in Washington, D.C., announced earlier this week that it will partner with the Friends of the Port Townsend Golf Park in Port Townsend, Washington. NLT co-founder Mike McCartin will develop a master plan for improvements to the 122-year-old course as well as design a new community putting course inspired by the Himalayas at St. Andrews.
"This partnership is an exciting step in expanding our work nationally and advancing our mission to protect and promote community-focused municipal golf across the country," the NLT said in a statement. Consider that a hint about what the NLT might do next if the Trump administration manages to chase the group out of D.C.
In any case, this is great news for Port Townsend, a beautiful and historic little town at the mouth of Puget Sound.
Elsewhere in the FEGC community forum, member Wesley Domeck asks which other municipalities would make good partners for the NLT. May I suggest Portland, Oregon?
