He will be arriving in Ireland soon in order to see and inspect my great properties there. The golf courses and hotels are among the greatest in the world – Turnberry and Aberdeen, in Scotland, and Doonbeg, in Ireland. Will be meeting with many wonderful friends, and cutting a ribbon for a new and spectacular second course in Aberdeen,” he wrote, reports Breaking News.
After his time in Scotland he will visit his golf course in Dun Beag, Co Clare later today.
