Donald Trump is a notorious jackass, so this is just another jackass thing he did.   add it to the list.

Here's how I see it - If it were someone else other than Trump caught on camera driving across a green, would your opinion change? Then you're being political (in the broadest sense of the w

Unless it's been edited and I missed something, I wouldn't say calling him an asshole is political.

Hell, the video in the OP shows it pretty clearly.

You could take the Donald Trump from the 1990s and make these statements.  I grew up in NY and he was always like this.   He was a notorious jackass long ago, politics aside.

Hard in this day and age to determine what would be considered political content .Heck, just responding to someone's post that may have had political overtones could render you an offender.  Back in the 50's, Dwight Eisenhower was an avid golfer, but describing it was not considered a political discussion. Today is a little different given the all consuming nature of what is in the daily news.

What was he saying at the end? I'm gonna kill this hole?

Nevermind, good until this hole.

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

When you see the newspapers reporting on him as a local celebrity (this was well before the Apprentice), then yes.   People are the same everywhere and some people loved him, and others hated him.   His deals, money troubles and outlandish statements were all news.   He was very brash and very controversial well before he stuck his toes into politics.

Brash and controversial does not equal "notorious jackass".  Many people would consider that to be smart and successful.

Reminds me of:

Quote

He's done so many great things for me, and I want to tell you one of the greatest things he did for me. He took me down to Pebble Beach, guys, to play golf. You know I don't know how to play golf.

So I'm driving the golf cart around, and I drive the golf cart up on the green, okay? Eddie, Ronnie, Joe, all them, guys are laughing at me. Some guy's flying behind us going like, "Get off the green." I'm going what is he talking about?

So I go to the next hole, and I drive up on the green. So then I said "If this guy comes and opens his mouth again, I'm going to knock him out." Hey, so I started to turn around, and Eddie and them go, "Hey, you can't drive up on the green." I said "All this shit is green!"

I can only speak for myself and the people I spoke with when I lived there.  I'm sure there were people who loved him.  At least 3 or 4 people on the Upper East side

It would be nice to get an explanation.Even if you were the laziest golfer in the world there is no real reason to put the cart on the green itself is there?

Lol. Okay, several things:

1) He owns the course. 

2) You still shouldn't do that. Because you have members. Who are there to golf.

3) The OP talking about what kind of example that sets for youngsters. I mean, what? Raise your own kids.

4) The idea that somebody (can't remember who) is a "fan of Donald" but finds THIS "dissapointing."

This thread is full of lulz.

Laugh now, but 15 years from now when you watch the NCAA Championship and everyone is wheeling push-carts all over the greens, YOU WILL KNOW WHY.

Also...I'd love to meet the "youngsters" who are looking to a 70-year-old man as an exemplar.

Well, that's a good point. Especially when the winner grabs the trophy presenter by the p*****.

      Water in Bunker

      By iacas ·

      Did you look up any Rules before posting here? What did you learn or find? You don't get to drop (or place) closer to the hole. 16.1(c) deals with relief for Abnormal Course Conditions in bunkers. You're granted free relief for: Since you say the bunker was basically entirely full of water, you likely wouldn't get complete relief, so for free (no penalty strokes), you are entitled to "maximum available" relief. If there's a spot in the back of the bunker away from the hole where the water is the shallowest, then you can drop there. If you don't like any of those options, you can take a penalty stroke and drop out of the bunker, behind it: You seem to have played from a wrong place (nearer to the hole) and thus likely should be penalized two strokes. It doesn't sound like a serious breach, at least.

      New Golf Grips. Talk to Me

      By collegefbfan ·

      I feel that the stock grips on my Wilson D9's are a little thin.  The grips on my other clubs (purchased used online and sold by me a couple months ago) were Golf Pride and they looked like the wrapped version.  I will say they felt like they had a little more cushion.  I don't have particularly large hands.  Did the grips on my other clubs have more tape or was just a better feeling softer grip?  I have no idea.  Well, any brands you would recommend that have a softer feel?

      Water in Bunker

      By anaveragehacker ·

      So this situation happened. A bunker in front of the green was full of water. My ball was underwater in the very back of the bunker furthest from the green. There was a small patch on the front upslope of the bunker nearest the green that theoretically could have been used to hit from if the ball was placed.  A drop would just roll back into the water. And this was the only part of the bunker you might be able to get a stance without standing in water. So my question is do you hit from that small front slope even though you would have to move the ball 6-7 closer to the pin? Or do you drop outside the bunker making sure you are no closer to the pin? I dropped in front of the bunker, so I had to chip over the whole bunker. Was this the right call? Also could I have moved it latterly outside the bunker, although this wouldn’t have made much difference as my ball was pretty much as far back in the bunker as you could be away from the hole.

      I just got my shotscope v5 watch and used it yesterday. Its fairly accurate at the course I was playing so I did not use my rangefinder at all. I was able to calculate what club i needed from that.
