I like playing golf, but I am not great at it, and I admit that. I can't wait until my kids are old enough to suck at golf with me. If they are good at it like my dad, I'll cheer them on. If they suck at it like I do, I'll cheer them on. If anyone sucks at golf and finds themselves regularly getting angry and ruining it for themselves, I'll share my secrets about dealing with it and getting on with the game. It took me a long time to figure that out, and I'm still working on it.
Just once, I would love to see Trump play golf these days with a camera on him for each shot, because heβs full of crap on his scores.
The closest thing I could find that didnβt have him or any of his golf buddies lying about his scores or how he played, were the three times he played in the American Century Championship at Lake Tahoe, the same place he screwed Stormy Daniels. 2004, 2005, and 2006. Thereβs no way heβs better today than he was then.
That tournament scores on the Stableford Rules. You accumulate points for better scores. 10 points for an albatross (3 under par on one hole), 8 points for a hole-in-one, 6 points for an eagle, 3 points for a birdie, 0 points for a bogey, and -2 points for a double bogey or less. Itβs 54-hole tournament.
In 2004, he finished 56th out of 79 golfers with a final score of -6. He could have played bogey golf for every hole except for three, which he scored double bogey or worse.
In 2005, he finished 42nd out of 81 golfers with a final score of 26. He could have had par on 26 holes, and played bogey golf for the other 28 holes.
In 2006, he finished 62nd out of 80 golfers with a final score of -16. Again, he could have played bogey golf for every hole except for eight, which he scored double bogey or worse.
Those are probably the best case scenarios. If he had a few birdies in any of those rounds, then he would probably have had to have a few more holes than that at double bogey or more. Thatβs weekday hacker golf, folks, not club championship golf. Bottom line- heβs a heck of a lot worse playing golf than he brags about. Golf is all about honor, and Trump has none.
