By choice right?? He certainly was thrilled numerous times to have bone spurs for his country as well.

I shot 62 at age 62 so have some idea of what it takes when you’re older to still swing it.


Congrats but what was the slope and rating?

Nobody that has played more than a few round of golf thinks Trump put together back to back -2 rounds scratch from the tips on a course I would bet is over 145 slope. That would be South Korea propaganda level, even if they slowed the greens down and cut pins on the easiest section of the greens. While their open championship almost certainly plays from the blacks/golds I bet the older age protected classes play from the reds, greens at best. Those true championship level courses usually do a good job taking the teeth out of the course from the short tees. If they don't a lot of the old farts that have the money to become and stay members will be breaking a lot of clubs and destroying a bunch of tee boxes and greens in their frustration.

Him winning or losing the championship makes no difference in my life, but I would be lying if I didn't have a curiosity what his scratch score would have been had a marshall that didn't know who he was or didn't give a shite who he was watched his every move on the course. If 70 was scratch I can't help but think there were a couple of unrecorded strokes where he or someone else used a hand wedge.

Useless Monday night banter. The score (leader) board is all that matters in the end.

“Is 70 good or bad for an 80 year old? Good or bad for one that’s been playing golf for decades?”

He did not shoot this score without significant cheating or this is a net handicap score, which was not disclosed. If Trump claims to have shot a gross score 70 at age 80, he is lying. Make
Of that what you will.

Trump lies about golf, but I don’t remember the outrage when Biden lied about…

Family were coal miners
Numerous stories about growing up including Corn pop
Appointment to West Point
Grades
Scholarships
Law school rankings
Civil rights activism
Plagerism
His wife causing accident, blaming innocent truck driver.
How and when he met second wife
Driving 18 wheelers
Uncle eaten by cannibals
Amtrak conductor
Not being involved in his family getting jobs and business dealings and never meeting with his son's foreign business partners.

While this is certainly not as important or relevant as Trump getting bitchslapped by Iran, it should be noted that when he played in the American Century Celebrity Classic in 2006 in Lake Tahoe (an event that is montiored and scores kept), he shot a total score of 268 over three rounds (averaging 89.3 per round) for a total score of 52 over par across 3 rounds. He came in 62nd place out of 80 celebrities. Shockingly, Donald never went back to play that event again.

Going all the way back 20-years to a tournament no one remembers. You have pathological level TDS.

No jackass, its the only tournament he's played in where scores were documented and on camera. You know the kind where you can't cheat (which again explains why he never played it again). And it was mentioned in the first article I read about Trump's great victory this past weekend. So not real hard to find.

One has to go that far back to find the last time he played a tournament outside of his own “winter rules” owned properties

Are you BRCCgrad88? The tournament was videoed this weekend. People captured the President’s winning putt on this magic thing called the cell phone.

these people are so dumb. They literally think Trump kicks the ball and drops it in the hole and everyone goes along with it like we’re in North Korea.

Old men are wicked good at golf even when it doesn’t look like it. My grandpa used to walk up and hit it while I tried killing it and would smoke me.

This is the kind of stuff that really doesn't matter. Who cares? Make valid criticisms about policy or procedure. Arguing about what someone shot in golf is some Idiocracy shite and distracts from actual important issues.


You should see the thread about people complaining that James Talarico drove a different car than his own for a commercial.

The really important stuff that gets treated the same both ways.

You obviously don't know anything about Golf. He played from the senior t's and gets a handicap probably of like thirty or something like that, and probably was only playing against five other people.But it's still pretty good to win it all like that at his age and with his mental and physical health issues. Personally, i'm proud of him, and I think you should be too. Why not join the club and be a proud american red white and blue all the way through and true blue

All I know is that Trump is, and has been, a Great Golfer his entire life. He has won many tournaments, long before he entered politics, and after.

He was also a Great Baseball Player, who I believe played in the Minors and probably could have played in the Majors if he had so decided, but business and other greatness was calling!
