Of course he is. In keeping with tradition, he fired his hips too early.

Yeah gotta make some compensations from here...

And I'm not talking about the clubhead being inside the hands at 2. Here's Ray Floyd.

Yep, shoulders turn too level. Very "shallow" pivot so the downswing is all about compensating for that.

Trump's swing is ugly, but he makes it work. You have to give grudging respect to a guy that can put up "T" rounds in the 70's on fairly difficult courses. I can stand his personality, but I'll tip my cap to his golf scores....

Some people are just plain genius at golf... I played with players like this totally unorthodox swing with without wrist cork but he could hit great long irons, wierd putting style, reverse arc then straight at hole . He scored like - 3 under from gold tee at one of the championship course in my country which is hard. I'm disgusted honestly.

And he's only played 20 times in the last 5+ years, remarkable that he can maintain that handicap and play so rarely.

It's not like everything about him screams vanity handicapper. He doesn't strike me as the vain type :-)

Tournament Differentials: 4.5, 4.8, (1.8), 5.0, 4.7, 6.0, 1.6, 0.8.

Doesn't look like a vanity capper to me. Unless he's cheating in tournaments....... In which case, he's much worse than a vanity capper!

Joe Traveller (or is it Travellin Joe) from Golf Digest or Golf Mag, cant remember which one reported some time ago that he played with Trump on one of his Calif course (Pelican I think but don't quote me on it) and said he shot 71. His comment was that Trump can just flat out play.

Maybe he spends time on the range hitting balls and making deals.
