There is no loving way in hell he legitimately shot a 73. This is KJI territory.

They played 9 then drank in the golf cart while their caddies 'played' the back half.

That's an average of 4 strokes per hole. I don't think even Tiger shot that good in his prime.

Shooting par on an 18 hole golf course is hard to do. Add in wind and wet conditions, and it's even more difficult. While I believe Trump is a good golfer, carding a 73 sounds like total bullshit. I might've bought a score in the 80's.

Yeah. A good golfer, taking no drops or mulligans, will usually shoot in the 80s. The only golfers that can reliably shoot par are professionals.

He's exactly my age and no, there weren't prominent enough, toxic enough web communities back then to explain that kind of behavior in high school. FYAD was a year or two too late, 4chan much later and BBSes were already dead.

The worst he could've been influenced by were Yahoo Goups, FARK, and GameFAQs

Back to golfchat, Trump definitely loving cheats.

quote:

Reilly told The Washington Post about an afternoon when Trump wrote down scores he didn’t actually achieve on his scorecard, conceded putts to himself by raking the ball into the hole with his putter rather than striking it properly (“He rakes like my gardener!”), and even called a gimme — something a player might claim for a two-foot putt — on what should have been a chip shot.

“He took the world’s first gimme chip-in,” Reilly said. At one point, Trump, after taking a number of second shots, told Reilly to “make sure you write that I play my first ball. You don’t get a second ball in life.” In life, it may or may not be true that a person gets a second chance; and yet, as Reilly wrote, on holes 1, 13 and 17, Trump did indeed get a second ball.

Also golf just seems like a crappy game that I couldn't enjoy unless I got to drive the golf cart or get ripshit on scotch while enjoying a cigar (or doing all three at the same time.)
