So he goes to a place where he knows he can cheat and get away with it

He'll cheat even more than normal.
I've seen his swing and his putting stoke.
He couldn't break 90 at a Putt Putt course.

90 is actually a pretty fair golfer, we are talking about 18 strokes across 18 holes from being a scratch golfer, three more strokes from being PGA tour competitive.

When I look at Trump's golf mechanics, I see a duffer, a person who is lucky to break 110 over 18 holes.

I suggested he couldn't break 90 in miniature golf!
Not real golf!
With that swing? No way.
Contrary motion slows the club.
I'd bet his swing speed is approaching 70mph. Geez, mine is still 90, and he's bigger & taller than me.

Seriously doubt he could get a hole in one by hitting a golfball with a club.

Everything from moving his ball, his opponent's ball, not counting strokes, you name it. In fact, there is a book written about his cheating by a well known sports journalist. I read it when it came out last year. Very informative. This is a good article about it.
