Reminds me of college. Some of us were talking in the student union building and a guy at the next table asked if we needed a 4th, which we did. Asked him what his handicap was, he said a 9.

We didn’t find out till he teed off, 9 a hole was what it was more like. He shot 81 on 9, we made him pick up at 9 strokes and he never putted. We dumped him at the turn.

That being said he’s probably better than Biden

It's possible some are close to true, but wasn't FDR wheelchair bound for much of his adult life? I gotta believe his and Biden's are the least accurate, unless they are noting their lifetime best.

I believe JFK, Clinton, Obama, Ike, and Bush.

Zero chance Biden is a 6.7


That’s his IQ. He’s clearly handicapped

Kennedy was considered a legit pro level golfe


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.

That's gotta be their lowest ever handicap, Trump is not playing to a 2.8 and Biden isn't a 6.7. That picture kind of reminds me of some stories NK tells about Kim Jong-un

You can look up trump on GHIN and see how that 2.5 is calculated.. Funny how quickly people are to believe him.

A 6.7 would require a minimum of 3 times a week.

I was down to a 6.4 only playing 4-5 times a month, without practice ... so no. I was on a hot streak. Played in the upper 70's for a stretch.

Currently 9.5, which is probably closer to a true level.

Assuming there isn't another Donald Trump associated with Winged Foot on the GHIN app, it's worth noting that the vast majority of his counting scores are over 6 years old and some over a decade old. Same thing with Biden. His most recent counting score is over 7 years old and has counting scores dating back to 2013.

I highly doubt Trump is 2.5, but I bet he is probably a high single digit player. No way Biden is a 6.7. He's got to be in double digits.

I’ve seen Obama throw. No way is he a 13 from the Men’s tees.

Biden is a 6.7? Is this his average strokes per hole for an average 18 hole stroke score of 120.6?

I thought scores had to be from the trailing 12 months to count toward your handicap on GHIN?

I thought that as well, but I guess not.

Yeah, same here. I believe it takes 8 of your most recent 20 for calculating hdcp.

Trump can still spank the ball. Has solid swing speed for a guy that age. It's impressive.

2.8 is probably aggressive but 100% believe he's a single digit. He plays all the time.

Obama is left handed and is pretty athletic. Lefty's are always good at the stick games.

Not valid. The scores accounting for President Trump’s handicap date as far back as 2011.

GHIN - search Donald Trump in New York. You can see all of his scores. He does not input most of his rounds.

A 2.8 handicap would require any person to play golf a minimum of 4 times a week.


No necessary. I know a guy that plays like two or three times a year and shoots around par golf.

Good for him.

I play all the time.
Rarely break 80.

Does he have other hobbies?
Must be really good at everything.

I’ve seen his swing

There’s 0 chance he’s really a 2.7 or single digit

That said, those are all completely made up
