Probably one of the worst things that could happen to our community, especially for the endurance sports community. 
>> Among President Donald Trump's latest so-called improvement projects for the nation's capital, is creating a worldclass championship golf course just a mile from the White House South Lawn, replacing a lowcost municipal course accessible to beginners and Sunday duffers alike. 
>> This golf course is specifically a place where you can try it, you can get into it, you can learn. It's for beginners. 
is for people who've been doing it for more than a year, people who've been doing for more than 10 years. The courses are dynamic, they're diverse. 
Right now, we're playing nine holes for about $28. And that for a golf course, if you look around, is a really great price. You know, we really want to keep this course and this park as it is. 
>> The public links and surrounding park are also loved by bicyclists, runners, anglers, picnickers, and also people who love Japan's great gift to the US, the cherry trees that bloom every April. 
moved here 10 years ago and I come down here easily two to five days a week either riding my bike, running, having a picnic. 
This is really a part of my a big part of my life, big part of why I choose to continue living in DC. 
There are world championship golf courses in the area. We don't need another one right here in DC. 
>> Last month on a tour of the park, the president was spotted carrying what appeared to be blueprints for the course. 
Even though no plans have been submitted to the public or to the agencies that are supposed to approve such projects, opponents are suing to stop the construction. 
The president has said construction of the new course will begin on September 1st.
