you have to flatter him, even if the flattery is obviously ridiculous. He's playing the game he needs to play. It's disgusting but there it is.

Every sales guy knows this scenario:

You let the "client" win even if he's a terrible golfer. Praise his game every chance you get (of course he didn't cheat.) Make a big deal about how he always wins. Probably buy your client lunch (or drinks) as well. Then he signs the big contract for you at the end of the day.

that's about the only way to make Trump feel good. Pretty much what is said to be typical of Narcissists.

One of golf’s greatest feats is to shoot one’s age.

So, imagine how spectacular a day Kim Jong-Il had back in 1994. The North Korean dictator, who died on Saturday of heart failure at age 69, scorched the 7,700-yard Pyongyang Golf Course in a stunning 38-under par, 34.

Now, before getting all bent out of shape that such a score is impossible or clearly the product of creative scorekeeping on the part of the “Dear Leader,” it’s important to note that witnesses attest to his great round.

According to reports, Kim, who was 52 at the time, carded no worse than a birdie on any hole at the country’s only golf club. He also had five holes-in-one in the round, which was witnessed by 17 armed bodyguards.

this "monumental achievement"...LOL!

"We are now in Kim Jong Il territory!"

I read the New Yorker article, will save the rest for the weekend.

How cheap can you get?

This dude exposes your personal cell phone number to the world and pisses on you every chance he can, and yet you’re willing to debase yourself by doing crap like this?? They’re all the same, I suppose, Cruz is no better

BS from the start, that would put him in the "scratch" handicap area,even PGA pros have a tough time carding a low 70's score

Why do I think the local rules allow Trump to improve his lie?!

so why wouldn't they be allowed to on the golf course just like on the job?

And not the usually foot/foot-and-a-half length ones us duffers give or get.

Graham was probably giving trump 10 and 12 footers.

compulsive serial liar?

I think that has something like a 144 slope.

usual way a narcissist gets a 73 on their own course.

he brings the club way inside and then comes over the top.

...within the context of Trump Tower, which usually just means repeating pleasing lies that Trump can parrot.

I'm sure he actually plays golf, but I'm less sure that he would even know how to keep an honest score. As with everything he does, he mostly just pretends.

about this country.

Obama golfs barely at all and the world ends, Trump golfs almost every fucking day and they dont care.

because he knows he can influence Trump by flattering him.
