how many championships has he won that weren't at one of his courses?

He owns 18 golf courses, why would he play a club championship at a course he doesn't own?

The article does note that none of the other competitors saw President Trump play. I feel like this is North Korea-level Dear Leader worship.

who are you gonna believe, everyone else or Trump?

Trump is the only one of integrity out of that bunch. Ernie Els is a fraud.

He said scratch golfer. Their ain't no faking that my friend, regardless of your TDS levels. Obviously you know nothing about golf.


Lol. What? The handicap system is self-reporting. There's no way to guard against lying. He could be...and almost certainly is...completely faking it.

From the senior tees it's definitely possible if you've actually watched him play.

Just means he shoots par on average for a round of golf.


True, but less than 2% of American golfers are scratch golfers. I looked for, but couldn't find any stats on players over 75...but I would be shocked if ANY player older than 75...other than Trump...claims to be a scratch player.

The average handicap for men in their 70s (not to mention 79 with the hardest job in the world) is 20 - 23.

Is he applying to play in the US Amateur? No. Then nobody should give a shite what his handicap is.

I have never seen him play an entire HOLE much less an entire round. Have you? Of course not. It's all edited to A shot or maybe a putt or two.

None of this matters. Trump is a great president. Part of that is his showmanship. Some like the exaggeration. Others, like me, find it annoying. Not a big deal.

Some of us believe a man is only as good as his word. If a man is willing to lie about something as unimportant as his golf game why would anyone trust him on more serious matters?

At Trumps age, he’s probably the best golfer there is. There isn’t too many as good as he is.

It was best ball to break 50 but he plays every shot and pretty sure the video shows most of them.

Have you ever heard ANYONE say they beat him in one of the 38 club championships?

I’m a 15. I have a club championship (net). Is he talking senior club championship? Super senior? or open division? Gross? Net? He owns a lot of golf courses. It isn’t too much of a stretch to think over the years he has amassed championships.


Not sure why it’s a big deal either way.

Right. Did they show Trump's shots for even an entire hole? It's edited to show his best shots. You think Bryson was going to embarass the President?

No doubt, Trump's an amazing golfer for his age and responsibilities. It's just ludicrous to say he's a scratch golfer.

Here's a candid video of him from 6 years ago from someone who wasn't interested in promoting the President.

I'd pay good money to watch the two best golfers in the world, Trump and Kim Jong un.

The worlds best two golfers.

Re: Kim. I loved reading the annual invitation to the North Korean tournament each year until it was cancelled. They gave instructions to travel from the US to China and then bus south to the tournament.
They listed the previous year's winners. It was usually a guy from France or the UK but one year it was a guy from Mongolia. Only one NK entry was allowed and it was the winner of their military's tournament. All countries are invited except South Korea. And all golfers were escourted by a beautiful young NK caddy who spoke your language. The UK winner asked permissiion to take her back for marriage. They said 'OK.' Luckiest girl in the world.

I never said he was. He is impressive with the driver for a man his age. I know this is going to shock the world with what I am about to say. Trump likes to embellish things from time to time.

Hell. He could be the 3rd flight club champion.

Now we think Ernie Els is a liar? Why does President Trump trust him so much?
