Trump is supposed to be pretty good, Ike and JFK were damn good, Kennedy was considered a legit pro level golfer

Kennedy was damned near an invalid with his back. This was covered up by the media to maintain the myth of Camelot. No way he could play that well.

I agree. He probably puts in the time to have a single digit handicap. But I don't believe he has the time to maintain a 2.7. Maybe 10 years ago. But now? No.

which is amazing considering his Addison's Disease and back brace (which is what ultimately killed him in Dallas [after he was shot through the throat, he was unable to pitch forward and duck down into the car because his back brace held him up straight - letting the guy from the grassy knoll air him out]).

No. Just no. He was a single digit in his younger days, but no where near “pro level”

Ike started playing very late in life, and he had an old football injury so he couldn’t shift to his left side. Played a big slice. Which is why Ike’s tree at Augusta was named after him.

Trump is a single digit, but he’s an unapologetic cheater, so it’s hard to know what he shoot on his own ball legitimately. I’ve read he’s an incredibly clutch putter.

Some believable, some not. JFK not a pro level golfer. Handicaps don’t really work like most people think.
