A group of environmental activists pulled off a daring act of defiance at one of President Trump’s premier golf courses early Sunday morning.

The group — which labels itself an “anonymous environmental activist collective” — snuck into Trump National Golf Club in Rancho Palos Verdes, Calif., and carved a message into the green with six-foot-tall letters that said: “NO MORE TIGERS. NO MORE WOODS.”

The 18-hole, 7,300-yard course is set among cliffs overlooking the Pacific Ocean just south of Los Angeles. Last year, Golf Digest ranked it the 43rd best course in California.

In a statement sent to The Washington Post, the group said the vandalism was carried out in response to the Trump administration’s “blatant disregard” for the environment. “In response to the president’s recent decision to gut our existing protection policies, direct action was conceived and executed on the green of his California golf course in the form of a simple message: NO MORE TIGERS. NO MORE WOODS,” the statement said.

1. Defacing a golf course?

Double en tendré or oxymoron?

[defacto7]

2. Am I missing something?

What the hell does that mean? I don’t care if it says "eat at joes" but what's the environmental message?

3. That's easy;

Trophy hunters and population encroachment has hurt the demographics of most preditor populations, and deforestation is a monster of a problem worldwide. Rwo of many problems hand picked to do a double entendre on Tiger Wood's name.

7. It has all the relevance of a "FREE MUMIA!!1" chant at a MoveOn protest of the Bush administration

I wish I could laugh.

But I can't.

4. "Anonymous environmental activist collective" could be just that,

or could be another James O'Keefe diversion.

8. I would have done something more subtle and longer lasting. Like fill all the holes with cement. nt

9. Good one.

10. Just the odd numbers

12. The holes all get filled every few days anyway.

The greenskeeping crew cuts a new hole, fills the old hole, to vary the wear and tear on the greens.

Filling a hole with cement would slow them down for a minute or so.
