“Trump doesn’t just cheat at golf,” Reilly wrote. "He throws it, boots it, and moves it. He lies about his lies. He fudges and foozles and fluffs. At Winged Foot, where Trump is a member, the caddies got so used to seeing him kick his ball back onto the fairway they came up with a nickname for him: ‘Pele.’”
Just ask members of Trump International West Palm Beach who arrived for the final round of their Senior Club Championship on Jan. 22 only to find Trump’s name at the top of the leaderboard … when he didn’t play the first round.
…
Ted Virtue, founder and CEO of MidOcean Partners, a New York-based alternative asset management firm, won the club championship at West Palm Beach when Trump was president. At the time, Trump was in Singapore and missed the event.
Here is the story Reilly told and was also reported on Golf.com.
Trump sees Virtue on the back nine of the course one day and tells him he didn’t really win the club championship, "because I was out of town.” So he tells Virtue they will start there and play to see who the real champion is. Virtue has no choice.
“Apparently, they get to a hole with a big pond in front of the green,” Reilly said. "Both Ted and his son hit the ball on the green, but Trump hits his in the water. By the time they get to the hole, though, Trump is lining up the son’s ball. Only now it’s his ball and the caddie has switched it.
“The son is like, ‘That’s my ball!’ But Trump’s caddie goes, ‘No, this is the president’s ball; your ball went in the water.’ … Trump makes that putt, and wins 1-up.”
The real rich thing about trump cheating at golf… Is that golf is a game of personal development. It’s downright poetic that he is both bad at it (no shame there really) and cheats/lies about it rather than put in the time or effort in his 78+ years to get better at it. That really shows what kind of a person he is.
My grandad, a Trump voter, has several times in the past talked about how golf is like life: it doesn’t matter if the sun was in your eyes, or a dog barked in the middle of your swing, or a sudden breeze pushed your drive off target, all that matters at the end of the day is the number you put in that little box, no excuses. The irony is lost on him.
$100 says that fat cheating fuck picked up the ball and dropped it on the green
Videographer is alive today for not filming Trump take a mulligan during tournament.
That was caused by the windmills of the demcrats.
“Perfect as always sir, right on the green!”
May I suggests pickle Ball? Its good for old people. Easy on the joints. My brother in law has diabetes and he goes every weekend. Ah, its the orange piece of shit!!! Should have started there. Yeah, golf is right. But better in a dark room with a virtual game. Once he misses a few times he can just grab the ball and hit the wall with it.
The best thing about pickleball with trump would be the chances of injury. I can’t tell you how many broken wrists I’ve seen from them falling.
I don’t golf, but I don’t think I could chip a shot that badly if I tried. FFS, even as a minigolf round, I’ve done better over that distance.
Not to defend Trump, but it’s easy to flub a shot like that when the cameras are watching every shot every day.
That might be a valid point if he didn’t spend so much time playing…
That’s what he’s doing with the economy; flubbing. Fucking flubber, dude.
Nah he needs the attention. This is just age. He genuinely used to be pretty good at golf. It’s not that surprising given how much time he spends playing. But honestly kinda satisfying to see him falling off because that 100% bothers him A LOT.
Not to defend Trum
segways into defending Trump
“I don’t mean to be rude…” proceeds immediately to be rude
That explains why he is flubbing everything then, huh?
Yeah, you couldn’t do this badly, because you are just an amateur. That guy in the video, won multiple club championships on his own golf course and bankrupted 4 casinos. That requires special talent.
Supreme Leader Trump plays very well actually. He was aiming for the bonus hole!
SCORE
“Gambling is illegal at Bushwood sir, and I never slice.”
This needs to be seen by the whole world imo
So this is what he chose to do, instead of attending the ceremony for dead soldiers in Lithuania?
I prefer this to when he went to France and called servicemen killed at Normandy losers.
Looks like he’s just as bad at golf as he is at running a country.
Well, at least the ball didn’t fly backwards.
ahem
SHANKEDIT
I couldn’t have all the time in the world and be bad at golf
I am waiting for them to report that he got 18 hole-in-ones.
First golfer in history to finish 18 holes in 15 strokes.
He boast about his excellent relationship with Kim Jong-Un, it’s understandable that your friends and their approach to “personal greatness” would rub off on you after a while 😁
Supreme Leader Trump even scored 36 hole-in-ones, because he is twice as good as the best golfer in the world.
