How bad did he beat me? I did better in the presidential race than today on the golf course!

Great fun. Great host.

If that dude shot 73 on that course in those conditions then I'm Bobby Jones. I know an asst pro at Bedminster and its pretty well known Trump lies about his scores all the time. He told me a story about watching him dump three balls in the drink on the par 3 16th (i think) and gave himself a bogey. But I've also heard that he has legitimately broken 80 at Bedminster. So who knows.

The tees they supposedly played from have a CR/Slope of 75.4/139. So Trump's handicap differential here would be -1.14 or -1.95 if he shot a 74/73.

I've heard that, too, but can't recall the source now.

As long as this thread is about golf, it's fine.

I'm guessing the source of Trump's golf cheating claims is from or affiliated with certain news agencies? :-D

Yeah, I guess this isn't really political thread, except that the recipient of our doubts are both Trump and Graham.

What the heck were both of them doing on a 75.4/139 rated course anyway? Pace of play must have been a nightmare the day they played. :-D

Yeah, seems like it's possible.

I vaguely recall some story told by Oscar De La Hoya (the old boxer) about Trump dropping balls in convenient spots. 

Wasn't there some big flap between him and Samuel L Jackson as well.

Seems like a tough ask, but here goes.  Hey look, here's a website solely about the president golfing:

Let's see how truthful he is in everyday life:

If you don't want to click, I'll just say that he over 2/3 of the time.  But I agree with @Ernest Jones, I highly doubt that wouldn't carry over to his golf game.

Many playing partners have said he takes a lot of the usual weekend hacker liberties-- breakfast balls, lie improvements, etc.

He's still a pretty good golfer, though. I think Ernie Els said he thought he would be a high single digit handicapper if he played legit.

    • Day 82: 3/18/24 Tried a Stack session but could not certify my warmup. Finished with indoor chips and putting. 
    • Day 96 (18 Mar 24) - Continued work with the Divot Board with the GW and hard foam balls.  Focused on small target/small miss…setup to hit target about 30yds out - success if it hit within 6’ circle of target, fail if outside.  Had decent success averaging about 3 out of 4 (hitting in groups of four).  
    • Wordle 1,003 3/6 🟩🟩🟩⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩⬜🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩   felt a little like Wyndham when the first three green and I began the fist pump…
    • I'm relieved someone finally defined hiking. I was giddy when I saw these new TPI videos a day or so after they dropped. Very easy to understand the problem and solution the way they have presented it. Been working on fixing this for about a year and a half now. It's nice to be able to call it something so communication becomes easy.  I was working on more lateral and up too, but just having someone define it clearly in video form was so helpful for me to continue confidently with what I thought was wrong and how I had to fix it.  My conceptual error here was just trying to rotate like a tour pro but without including the necessary forward pressure/weight shift associated with enough lateral and upward motion of the pelvis.  This video is great too, as is Greg Rose.
    • Day 2.    couple mins of rolling putts end over end.    10 mins of Slow, mirror work, working on starting the downswing and impact wrist positions. Hit a couple balls into the net after.    Then finished with a couple chips to see if I could repeat what I worked on yesterday.
