trump cheats at golf lies about his handicap

[dherd]

One morning in the mid-1990s, Mark Mulvoy was on the sixth hole of Long Island’s Garden City Golf Club with Donald Trump when the skies opened, and they ducked for cover under a nearby awning. The rain let up a few moments later, and Mulvoy, then the managing editor of Sports Illustrated, returned to the green. When he got there, he found a ball 10 feet from the pin that he didn’t remember seeing before the storm.

“Who the hell’s ball is this?” he said.

“That’s me,” the real estate mogul said, according to Mulvoy.

“Donald, give me a f---ing break,” Mulvoy recalls telling him. “You’ve been hacking away in the . . . weeds all day. You do not lie there.”

“The worst celebrity golf cheat?” the rock star Alice Cooper said in a 2012 interview with Q magazine. “I wish I could tell you that. It would be a shocker. I played with Donald Trump one time. That’s all I’m going to say.”

Rick Reilly, the sportswriter who hit the links with Trump for his 2004 book “Who’s Your Caddy?” — in which Reilly lugged clubs for several of the world’s best golfers and VIP amateurs.

As for Trump? “When it comes to cheating, he’s an 11 on a scale of one to 10,” Reilly said.
even called a gimme — something a player might claim for a two-foot putt — on what should have been a chip shot.

100% of people that have played golf, have cheated at times.

Cheating at golf is still better than taking a six month leave of absence from an anonymous message board forum.

Who doesn't cheat at golf? If anyone outside the pro's followed the rules to a T, most of us would never break 100.

I love when the HD prints the dudes that break their age at Riviera. Are they really fooling anyone? That's why we have a handicap system.

HAHAHAHAHA, Dork

when you play golf do you keep score.
then why do you keep score - if you cheat
your score is meaningless. no one i know
cheats - we play strictly by the rules.

but i guess if your morals are so low that you
would partner with the russians to steal a
u.s. election cheating at golf is not that big a deal.

and if you support and defend a man who partners
with russia to steal a u.s. election i guess cheating
at golf would be a normal thing for you to do.

You don't play strictly by the rules I guarantee it

Shut the fvck up you stupid babbling bitch.

Is this what you've been reduced to DTARD? You're worse than CNN with meaningless stories.

 

[GK4Herd]

Two off the first tee...mulligan a side...inside the leather gimmes...double par max...you know...the regular rules of golf.

[dherd]

no gimmies no where.
you make every putt no matter how short.
you guys must not keep score.
when i get finished with a round i know
my score is legit.
your score doesn't mean a thing.

you live your life bending the rules, backing a liar
a cheat, and a traitor.

no wonder you are such an easy mark for someone
like trump and republicans - you think everyone
cheats - they dont.

Says the guy that claimed he played d1 football at Marshall, got called out on it, then claimed he never said he played at Marshall got called out on that then claimed he never said he played d1.

And oh yeah how's your ultra successful 5th avenue(NYC) ad exec daughter of yours?

Is their money on the line? I'd break a club over someone's head for that shit.

Besides improving a lie, because we always played on shitty courses that were often torn to hell, I was raised to respect the rules. A gimmie on a chip? What a pussy.

well, improving a lie is cheating. Like, a big cheating.

Hey if that is what the group calls for then go for it. That is my motto.

 

[GK4Herd]

The only liberty my group takes is distance and a stoke for OB. Going back to tee isn't cool on a crowded public course. Besides...there isn't supposed to be OB on the interior of a golf course, but many times they place white stakes to protect private property...like the houses that line the fairway.

 

[Raoul Duke MU]

Not when there are fvcking tractor ruts in the fairway.

Dad loved the cheap courses. We used to go to this par 3 course (still in business!) that I swear was a cow pasture. I loved that place because next door was a scrapyard filled with old Sikorsky Choctaw choppers, like 50 of the things. But it was a really shitty course. Tractor ruts, fvcking animal burrows and snake holes lol.

I remember the day we went to the fancy course. Dad was really proud because the big superintendent of the L&N shops in Louisville was taking him and me to play. He picked us up in his Lincoln Town Car, fancy shit. One of the fairways sorta ran alongside the parking area, and there was a shiny Indiana State Police cruiser parked there. Dad and the big shot joked about hoping no one shanked a shot and hit the cop car. I was a pretty good golfer as a kid, I grew up playing every weekend, but they jinxed me; I shanked the shit out of the drive and blasted it right off the side of that cruiser. BAM! I thought for sure Dad was going to beat my ass right there on the tee. The big shot got a hoot out of it, but I got hell for a week straight because Dad was sure I shanked that drive on purpose. That's the last time Dad took me to golf with anyone important.

That is one thing we do as well. Just too hard and time consuming to do on a public course or in a non tournament situation. Drop where you went out and take a penalty.

That's target practice.

Why not hit a provisional tee ball.

 

[i am herdman]

Why not hit a provisional tee ball.

I guess you could. But, the problem is 5 hour plus rounds of golf are too damn long. And, when the course is stacked up you need to move on with it.

part of the problem with gold today is the rounds are taking entirely too long.

 

[GreenDuke]

I'm assuming that 5 hours is on Sat or Sun. I try to avoid those days as much as possible, maybe slip out on a Sat evening for nine holes. Yeah I agree you don't want to drag out a five hour round any further.

Not to mention moving the ball 3-4 inches to improve the lie. Not playing it as it lies. Having too many clubs in the bag, duplicate clubs, putting while the stick is still in, etc.

It would be impossible for the average joe to completely play by the rules. Has anyone ever looked at the rule book?

"I didn't gain an advantage but I know the rules," he said. "Bobby Jones said you might as well congratulate a man for not robbing a bank in that situation. I knew what the rule was and I didn't have a choice. I know nobody else would have known. But I knew. I knew what the rules was. It's just the way it is."

Though missing out on the Riviera proceedings is a psychological blow, tournament finishes ultimately get lost to history. A player's character, however, withstands the test of time.

Christopher Crawford, who we profiled at this year's U.S. Open, was competing at this week's Amateur, and on pace to qualify out of stroke play into the 64-man match-play tournament. However, during his second round on Tuesday at Bel-Air Country Club, the 23-year-old Crawford heard his caddie use slope when discussing an upcoming shot. This caught Crawford's attention; while measuring instruments are allowed in amateur tournaments, the slope-reading component is prohibited. Because Crawford's caddie – a last-second fill-in, according to ESPN's Bob Harig, after Crawford's intended looper got sick – had it on for the entire round, he disqualified himself for "multiple uses of a distance-measuring device with the slope feature activated by his caddie."


"This is the biggest amateur tournament, and it's a commitment financially," Crawford told Harig. "To have it end in such a disappointing way is pretty crushing."

However, when asked if anyone would have really known if the device was on, Crawford was steadfast in his decision.

"I didn't gain an advantage but I know the rules," he said. "Bobby Jones said you might as well congratulate a man for not robbing a bank in that situation. I knew what the rule was and I didn't have a choice. I know nobody else would have known. But I knew. I knew what the rules was. It's just the way it is."
