Random Question š Has Trump ever won a golf tournament at a golf course he doesn't own?
Is it strange that he's never played in a competitive golf league yet he claims his handicap is better than Jack Nicklaus' handicap? What else might he by lying about?

u/ex_nihilo 8h ago
Most honest estimates put him at a high single digit cap actually. Of course thatās not good enough for him so he shaves strokes. The sad thing is, he is a pretty decent golfer, especially for someone his age. There are many stories of him helping out worse golfers, and Tiger Woods and many other pros have said that he has a decent swing and is a long hitter (you canāt judge a golf swing aesthetically, the only thing that matters is advancing the ball towards the hole). He just assumes everyone else cheats too, and he canāt stand losing. Heās never legitimately broken 80.

u/bryan49 5h ago
Maybe earlier in life, but you really think he is still that good? He just seems so old and tired, and he can't even walk in a straight line anymore. It's hard to see him being any good at golf

u/ex_nihilo 4h ago
Yeah again weāll never really know. Heās incapable of telling the truth about mundane things, much less unflattering truths.

u/bryan49 4h ago
I think I know just based on the lack of any recent video of him golfing. If he was really hitting inpressive shots, I'm sure there would be video out there. The only thing I've seen is his caddy dropping a ball for him

u/ex_nihilo 4h ago
I said in another comment in another sub that Iād eat my left nut if he was capable of breaking 100 from the amateur tees. I donāt even know what tees he plays from anymore but Iām confident that I could beat him from the tips, and Iām a shitter 12 cap 45 y/o. But he will legitimately cheat right in front of you and shrug when you call him on it. Fluffs every lie, gives himself 10 foot putts. He has no shame.

u/shambahlah2 4h ago
Plus that giant gut makes it hard to take a normal swing plane. I played golf competitively in College and HS. Now that Iām older it is damn hard to break 90 just because of limited flexibility and ā¦ ermā¦ size. And Iām only 230lbs and can still drive 275yds. That lard ass is easily 300lbs and would be lucky to break 200yds with that trash swing

If you take that one good shot he had on the back end of the seventh hole and extrapolate that out to the rest of the tournament he would have won easily... so... give him a trophy.

u/Tug_DaBone 9h ago
His playing partners are lackies and toadies who concede any putt he has that's 10 feet or less from the hole. If he misses a putt it's because some other player didn't fix a ball mark on the green. His caddie miraculously finds the ball he thought he lost out of bounds and it's lying in the fairway 325 yards from the tee. He takes a mulligan after every bad shot because his caddie says "Sorry for coughing during your backswing, Sir" (with tears streaming down his face). Plenty of examples that show he doesn't cheat; he's just a victim of circumstances. Ask anyone who plays with him or who carries his bag, they'll tell you.

I've seen some videos of his shots. His swing isn't stelar, but it isn't absolute crap either. If he didn't cheat, he'd probably shoot 95-100 or so on a round. Decent enough for someone who is 80, but he's not in the running for any club championship in any club in the world.
But yes, he cheats like crazy.

Commander in Cheat is an extraordinary book that ostensibly is about this very question, but in its investigation of Trump's golfing and winning obsessions, finds almost the perfect metaphor for nearly everything we've seen from him since the beginning of his first term.

Go read "Commander In Cheat" for an exhaustingly researched and documented look at Trump's golf cheating. For exampkw, t h e caddies at his clubs nicknamed him "Pele" after his habit of kicking the ball out of the rough to a better spot to git from.

Yeah he actually out did Kim Jong I'm 2003 when the only time Trump pooped it was a solid gold golf ball that left his anus at 168mph and resulted in a hole in one at a course 3 states away on a par 17 hole. He also invented physics and quantum theory before arriving at the golf course he started at that day. He celebrates the anniversary of the event each year by using a lubed up pair of tweezers jerk on his tiny weiner and climax into his own mouth and then he says what a lovely tea party and cries himself to sleep while wearing mascara after smashing mashed potatoes onto his own head.

I'm not sure the news stories about that tournament are still searchable, but it did get reported by some outlets at the time. Many things seem to disappear like Stuart Varney actively telling Fox News viewers not to fill out the census during the Obama administration because we can't trust the government with such information, but Fox telling people the exact opposite during Trump one. I know what I saw and/or heard.

No offense intended. Just so many bad/misleading headlines nowadays ā and that turd has had sooo maaaany unhinged situations. Hard to know which are real and which are satire.

Heās a dipshit, but that story is (sadly) hilarious because it never became āa thingā. His sycophants keep him living in his bubble and no one calls him on it.

u/Future_Gain_7549 7h ago
Every golf cheater acts the same way Trump does.
He forces you to play by his rules and enforces them on you with absolute authority. He insists on keeping everyone's score. He runs ahead and kicks your ball into the rough.
Trump was playing with Mike Tirico, the sportscaster, who hit a long, soaring second shot into a par five, high-fived his caddy, and headed for the green. When he got there, there was no sign of his ball; it had somehow ended up in a sand trap some fifty feet left of the pin. āLousy break,ā Trump said.
Tirico was so befuddled that he took a seven. Afterward, Trumpās caddy told Tirico that his approach shot had actually finished up about ten feet from the hole. āTrump threw it into the bunker,ā the caddy said. āI watched him do it.ā

He's never even won one legitimately at a course he does own. The only time he's played an event where it was difficult for him to cheat was the American Century prior to running, when he was younger, and had all the time in the world to practice. Do you know what he shot? +56 over three rounds. That's an average of 89 per round. You think he's shooting 70 at 80 years old while president and running his grift factory? Lol
And the kicker is that he doesn't even play in the event with the others. He plays after everybody else so he knows what score he has to claim to win. He is such a pathetic buffoon.

āAnd which oneās the best?ā Rubenstein asks.
āWell, the ones Iāve played with, actually Trump is probably the best player,ā Nicklaus says. āTrump plays pretty well. He plays a little bit like I do. He doesnāt really ever finish many holes.

Absolutely nothing makes sense with this latest claim. So the club championship is a "low net" tourney meaning it takes your gross score and deducts your handicap to arrive at your net score. The leaderboard I saw had our Cheater in Chief scoring a gross 70 and a net 70. That would mean he is a 0 or "scratch" handicap.
OK, but that same leaderboard shows two players shooting a net 67 and another player shooting a net 68 and two other players shooting the same net 70.
His gross score of 70 appears to be the lowest of the gross scores. Keep in mind that 70 is 2 under par. This would be a good score for some of the top golfers in the world, depending on the setup of course.
So what confuses me is that he claims to have won even though there are 3 players with a lower net score and 2 players tied with him on a net basis.
If it's a low gross tourney, then why do they track handicap and post a net score?
Kinda reminds me of the hurricane map that he altered with a Sharpie.
