He actually carries a lower handicap than all time great Jack Nicklaus who has a 3.4, Trump has a 2.8.

Samuel L Jackson watched as Trump duck hooked a drive into the water. When the group got down to the ball--it was in the middle of the fairway courtesy of Trump's caddy. See any parallels here anyone?

Mike Tirico of ESPN hit a beautiful 3 wood 230 yds. onto the middle of the green. When he arrived at the green the ball was in the middle of a sand trap way left of the green. Tirico couldn't figure it out until afte the round Trump's caddy told him that Trump had thrown his ball into the trap, the ball was actually a few feet from the hole.

and at everything else too. Shame on people, who know it, and play with him anyway. Wouldn't it be funny if cheating at golf is what finally turns the Maghats against him?

it's the lowest form of cheating to move someone else's. So it's not surprising that Trump would do it.

I don't think there is anyone who believed he wasn't a massive golf cheater.

Why do people agree to play golf with him when they all know that he cheats? And especially if there's money riding on the score?

And does Trump throw a fit when someone scores better than his cheating number?

What a pathetic little man. Wracked by insecurities, having to lie and brag about yourself because nobody else respects you except toadies and fools. To know, deep down, that you earned nothing on your own without cheating and ripping people off. Seriously, I can't imagine how much it must suck to be him.



On edit: I'm using the term "millionaire" loosely. I don't think he's worth even that in real money.

He must spend every waking hour fretting over whether someone else might be richer, stronger, better-looking, more accomplished at something, more respected - and trying to figure out how to cut those other people down and make sure that the world believes he's the richest, strongest, best-looking, most accomplished and most respected. Cheating is necessary to preserve the illusion. What a shitty way to live.

I don't know, maybe not, maybe he's so completely self-absorbed that he can't perceive it, but I would think vastly more people hate his fucking guts now than used to...I mean, he has always disgusted me, but I was always able to just ignore him until a couple of years ago. Now I curse his very existence at least a dozen times a day, every day.

Would someone who would chronically cheat on the truth, on his wives with newborns, on his country, or on absolutely anything else even consider not cheating on his hobbies or pastimes?

"He is a racist. He is a conman. He is a cheat." - His longtime lawyer.

He has to cheat. Watch him swing a golf club and you'll see that he doesn't have much athletic ability. He's a dork. I've never heard of him participating in sports where he might have learned how to work with other people. He wouldn't have been nearly good enough anyway, particularly in NY with lots of competition. I'm pretty sure he took up golf because it has a history of being a "rich white man's game" and that's the image he wanted to project.
