Notice how his left elbow is sticking out? In golf, it's called a chicken wing and it shows a lack of skill.

Surprised? Not me.


ETA: The picture from McCain's funeral didn't come up until after I posted. Great contrast of two profoundly different men.

By the way, Trump once claimed to be a 2-handicapper. Yet another lie from the stupid cockwomble. That's an amazing level of golfing skill and no one with that index would have a swing like the one in the picture.

Suck so badly at it? He is a notorious cheater who even drives his fucking golf cart onto the green.

It's all he does in his free time and he still sucks at it. Without cheating he wouldn't even be able to rate. He is such a miserable failure in every way. I would love to see a televised game where he couldn't cheat and watch him show up for the loser that he is.

to follow rules or to develop skills. Knowledge and expertise are for sissies. All you have to do is bluster and shout to win.

Oops, I guess that approach doesn't work well with golf. Hence, he cheats.

you could line your greens with a modified invisible fence that disabled approaching golf carts, and locked the wheels if you tried to push. Would be fun to watch the resulting fit that I suspect would be thrown

Looking at that picture, even I can see it lacks form, grace and skill. I hope he sees the comments made here and other places so at least he knows (somewhere in his empty skull) that he sucketh at the thing he desperately wants to do well. He sucks. Ha ha ha......and the pictures don’t lie. He is a joke on the golf course. Among other places...

I'm pretty sure I've seen the white shirt one, and I can't imagine anyplace trump might be that he would need long sleeves yesterday or today.

ETA: The top image is from Scotland, in July. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5955703/Donald-Trump-enjoys-round-golf-Turnberry-resort-jets-Putin-talks.html

The earlier image also appears to have been from his Scotland trip: http://www.fox32chicago.com/news/as-washington-mourns-mccain-trump-golfs-at-virginia-golf-club (Note the similar image used to illustrate the story at the link - which is clearly labeled as being from his July Scotland trip.)

While I'm sure Trump is actually playing golf, that image is not of him playing golf during McCain's funeral - and we shouldn't be engaging in using misleading images.

The answer is YES he did. Did he go on a twitter rant during the memorial service? Yes he did. Oh, but the picture isn't actually from yesterday. That's the important point. Here is a picture from yesterday of him entering the golf course, ok?
