“Set petty politics aside”; “Best course I have ever played”: Fans react to Charley Hull's statement on Donald Trump’s golf course

Charley Hull recently played a practice round at Trump Turnberry in preparation for the link course conditions she will face at the Women's Scottish Open and the AIG Women's Open. After that, the Englishwoman stated that the course should return to the major championship rotation.

Charley Hull's comments have caused quite a stir in the golfing world. Several fans have shared their opinions on social media.

Many users support what Charley Hull said about Turnberry. Others feel that the course should remain banned from the majors because of its relationship with the former President of the United States, Donald Trump.

One X (formerly Twitter) user posted the following:

"Yes, set petty politics aside. Lots of history at the course."

Another fan posted the following:

"Best course I have ever played"

Let's take a look at some other reactions on X:

"Strictly politics keeping one of the best courses on the planet out of the rota, real shame," one fan posted.

"Donald Trump is banned from entering Scotland because he’s a 34-time convicted felon. Not going to happen while he’s involved with Turnberry," another fan said.

"Yes anyone with a brain agrees. Top track in the world," another user wrote.

"She’s welcome to her opinion, but don’t agree," another fan posted.

Charley Hull is currently taking part in the Women's Scottish Open at Dundonald Links. Later this month, she will compete in the AIG Women's Open at the Old Course at St. Adrews, also in Scotland.

A look at Charley Hull's performance at the Women's Scottish Open

Charley Hull arrived at Dundonald Links as one of the favorites for the title. After 54 holes, the Englishwoman is one of the main contenders as she is tied for third place with a score of 9 under.

Hull played the first round with three birdies and one bogey (2-under), but her leap to the top of the leaderboard came in the second round. Friday's round included an eagle, six birdies, and four bogeys.

On the so-called "moving day", Hull had four birdies and a bogey to remain in a tie for third with Esther Henseleit (9 under). Both are three shots back of leader Lauren Coughlin.

Hull played very accurately despite the difficult weather conditions that have accompanied the tournament. Over the first three rounds, the Englishwoman remained above 50% in both fairways hit and greens reached in regulation.

After the Women's Scottish Open, Hull will travel to St. Andrews for the AIG Women's Open, the final major of the season. The Englishwoman finished runner-up in 2023, six shots behind Lilia Vu.

Three weeks later, Hull will play in the Solheim Cup as the current leader of the European team. She has played on the European team six times, winning on three occasions and tying once.
