Trump's Scottish golf course targeted by Greenpeace sand protest

LONDON (Reuters) - Golfers teeing off at Trump Turnberry in Scotland on Wednesday would have been oblivious to Greenpeace's protest against the U.S. President on the sand a few hundred metres away, which was only properly visible from the air.

Environmental group Greenpeace said its activists raked Donald Trump's portrait into the sandy beach alongside the message "Time to resist - fight the billionaire takeover".

The group released aerial footage of the image which was about half the size of a football pitch to mark the first 100 days of Trump's second term, during which time the U.S. has left the Paris Climate agreement and backed coal and oil projects.

For Trump Turnberry, it is the second time in two months protesters have targeted the luxury golf resort, located on the west coast of Scotland, 50 miles south of Glasgow.

1. Should sneak onto the course at night and fill the holes with dry concrete mix and a splash of water.

2. Recently read that facility had to hire extra security due to Scots defecating in the holes on the course.

Not sure if I completely believe, but, hey, Scots are a tough lot so I could see it happening.
