What, exactly, would be his insitive for lying? World leaders are known to be great golfers. One of those north korean leaders once shot like a 35 or something like that. No reason to not beleive the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES!


Kim Jong Il once shot an 18 making hole in ones on every hole including par 5's. That dude was good.

He’s a legitimately excellent golfer for his age. Here he is doing a scramble witb PGA golfer. They take many of Trump’s shots.

Well to be fair, when that video was originally released Bryson had just won the US Open and was absolutely a top 10 player at the time.

The Senior Tees at Bedminster run at roughly 6,000 yards. Shooting a 70 at 80 years old would make Trump possibly the best ever 80 year old golfer.

People really want to try and pretend the above is true?

Hes still up there. He just left the PGA years ago and has been on the Saudi LIV Golf Tour.

I was talking about the PGA part, not the top 10 part.

Not saying Trump is a great golfer or anything, but this was clearly a Net 70.

I have no idea how good he is, but with net he could have shot 90.

Well then he’s cheating. Even from the super seniors (ladies) no 80 year old is shooting 70.

He's a pretty good golfer.

Watched him play with Bryson. POTUS has some game.

Pretty good golfers don’t shoot 70 at 80 years old

All time elite golfers do. Like think Gary Player. Trump is claiming he could beat Gary Player

And he is saying he would have crushed 80 year old Palmer and Nicklaus

Even then, they do it rarely. That picture shows trumps handicap is a 70. I don’t know what par is there, but he’s not a scratch golfer at 80 and he definitely isn’t a +.

Shooting 70 at his age isn’t “decent”. It’s all time great category

Shooting 80 would be considered excellent. Shooting 90 would be good. Shooting 95-100 would be decent

Whether you believe Trump can shoot 70 at age 80 and believe he has legitimately won 40 club championships is a pretty good litmus test of whether you are a giant dumbass or not.

Decent 80yo golfers don't shoot BACK TO BACK scratch 70s on a 66.6 / 124 (from the reds) course.

There may be a few dozen 80yo scratch golfers in the entire US; some of them are former pros, and most of them play every round their body will allow them to.

I am not remotely suggesting he isn't a good golfer for an 80yo but he ain't a scratch golfer, and he ain't putting together back-to-back -2s at Bedminster even from the reds. Keep in mind at 80 just being above ground is an accomplishment.

As I said before, it doesn't impact me in my day-to-day; it wouldn't even be an issue at all if he didn't crow about it to the world and poor-mouth his competition.
