WASHINGTON (Reuters) -U.S. President Donald Trump on Saturday said golf legend Jack Nicklaus will lead some work to restore two golf courses at Joint Base Andrews, a military base near Washington, D.C., just outside the capital.

Trump met Nicklaus, whose Nicklaus Design is one of the world’s largest golf course design and construction companies, at the military base for an aerial tour, the White House said.

Before leaving the White House for Andrews, Trump told reporters that Nicklaus would be involved in rebuilding the base’s two golf courses and other recreational facilities, which he said were “in very bad shape.”

Trump, an avid golfer, owns 18 golf courses, including a dozen in the United States, one in Ireland, two in Scotland and one in the United Arab Emirates.
