You sure spent a lot of time submitting a post on something that you claim to be trivial.

Doesn’t matter. If Kim Jong Un reaches 50 he’s gonna shatter whatever the standing record is.

Violent Fem Drivel just can’t handle it with his TDS.

At 80 you're not playing in the same division as 50 year olds, you're playing dudes 70 plus. You're also playing much shorter tees, go watch the Bryson Breaking 50, I can see him keeping it near par from some short tees

Watch him play with Bryson and you know Trump is a good golfer. He has a good swing for an 80 YO and his putting (while looking terrible due to the old style) is very effective. I also suspect the senior championship isn’t PGA senior definition but actually older individuals like a 65+ or older tourney. The man has probably had more practice and lessons than anyone in that field

Reading my question back, I need to apologize for the use of the word "but"; it may well have suggested some attempt at being derisive, and that was not my intent at all. I was honestly curious, since even if it was 63/110 it is still an accomplishment.

I don't have any illusions I will ever shoot my age, too many other hobbies, and it doesn't help that my club's course is a 73/133 from the mid-tees.

Wasn't there another golf tournament last weekend? Was the winner the best golfer there or did he just have a good weekend and everything dropped?

Mine is 70.9/126 from the mid on that course.

It’s the easiest of the 3 IMO.

73 from the mids is rough. The Judge is 78.5/147 from the tips. 16 is a 240 carry and frequently into the wind and 280 is wet on the other side.

you do know that “being the best” and “winning a gold event” are not even remotely close to the same thing, right?

Trump is 80. Jack Nicklaus is in his 80s. Trump winning the Bedminster senior club championship would be like Jack Nicklaus beating not just Phil Mickleson, but Phil Mickleson and everybody else on the list above.


This is an absurd comparison.

Have we heard anything else about the guy killed, barely a blip and where is the scare on the ear or anywhere on his body. Not saying it wasn’t a real bullet but staged event for sure

Trump's claiming he won both the Senior (50 plus) and Super Senior (65 plus) club championship.

Have you watched the video of him playing a course with DeChambeau? I do believe they were playing Bedminster in the video. Dude is a scratch golfer. In the big scope of things it does not really matter but still. He is a minus handicap especially on a course he plays all of the time. You may hate him (obviously so) but he has game.
