We all have been out on the course and taken a mulligan, breakfast ball, or called a putt a “gimme.” Sometimes we also get a little fuzzy when filling out the scorecard, thanks to the booze cart running around the course. Next: But is Trump honest with his scoring? 7. Kind of like when Kim Jong Il shot a 38 under par in his first round of golf ever. There is no proof that Trump cheated that day, or that Graham lied about the score, but it does raise some eyebrows. Yet Trump was able to get that score in inclement weather. For comparison, Hale Irwin, a 72-year-old PGA golfer, shot an average of 73.o6 in 2017 across seven championship tournaments. That would be absolutely incredible if he actually did. In October of 2017, Senator Leslie Graham tweeted that Trump scored a 73 in the wind and rain. Next: Did Trump really shoot a 73 in the wind and rain? 6. That raises even more questions about his honesty as a player. In the GHIN, there are only 20 report cards for Trump, and we all know that he’s golfed a lot more than that. That handicap does raise some questions, however. That is an extremely good handicap score, especially for a 71-year-old. | Andy Buchanan/AFP/Getty ImagesĪccording to the United States Golf Association handicap tracking system, Golf Handicap and Information Network, Trump has a handicap score of 2.8. That would actually be a pretty good handicap Trump plays more golf than any other president. But if you break your wrist on release, you can send the ball in another direction. Usually, you want to have a firm grip and follow through to putt straight. Diaz thinks that Trump’s long game fares better than his short, because his putting style features a “wristy release.” For anyone who has been on the green, that can cause a handful of problems. But according to Jaime Diaz in that GW article, that wasn’t the case when he played with Trump. Trump often claims that the best part of his game has been his putting. Putting may not actually be the best part of his game Next: Trump claims his short game is the best (shocker). That seems to be working out fine when you look at the videos. For him, it’s because he clears the hips as fast as possible to get to the ball. As unfettered or unusual as his swing may be with the iron, he still manages to make solid contact with the ball. He makes solid contact Donald Trump plays a round of golf after the opening of The Trump International Golf Links Course. Next: His middle-game isn’t that bad, either.
Donald Trump tends to have a “steep downswing that that a low fade that is better suited to good iron play,” according to Diaz. So his drive isn’t great, but what he lacks in distance, he makes up for by consistently getting on the fairway. For most beginners, this tends to lead to “long and wrong” swings, because it is difficult to maintain accuracy after striking the ball, and even though the ball travels far, it still ends up in the rough or out of bounds. Most golfers will tell you that you need to keep your swing in a wide arc to ensure that you drive the ball far. Trump drives like he is hitting an iron Trump has not yet golfed with any Democrats. Next: His lack of training shows in his swing.
But let’s take a look at his short, middle, and long game before we jump to conclusions. I really trust instinct a lot, in golf and a lot of things.” That’s very concerning considering that even the best golfers have a golf coach. According to a Golf World article, Trump views the game of golf to be a very “natural game.” He told Jaime Diaz of GW that “I never really wanted to know a lot about my technique. Donald Trump is a self-taught golferĭonald Trump claims to have never consistently worked with any golf coach in his life. So the real question is: Is Donald Trump good at golf? 1. Aside from the fact that he said he wouldn’t have time to golf when he became president, Trump seems to be getting a lot of time on the links. So far, the president has golfed more than 88 times while in office, and has cost the taxpayers roughly $43 million to do so. Donald Trump loves to boast about his properties, family, and his golf game.
