given all the coverage of obvious physical (problems) ...
Is Trump still able to play anything like an effective game?

9. He Wasn't Good Anyway - Edited To Add

His swing has the fluidity of granite.
Way too vertical, way too quick.
His putting stroke looks like someone who hates the ball. Jabby, jerky.
I don't play like I used to. One loses distance rapidly after 50.
Probably 2 or a little more yards a year.
He's 10 years older than me.
With a bad swing.
He couldn't get within 20 strokes of me, and the seniors' tour isn't giving me a thought. I'm just a retired guy who can play some.
I'd give a stroke a hole and I'd take both 9s & the round 99% of the time.
Physical problems notwithstanding, he never could play the game.
Anybody who says otherwise is being sycophantic.
BTW: I've had MS for 20 years. So, his physical condition is not an excuse for being rotten at it.

He sends out a squad of fore-caddies. Somehow, wherever his drive goes, his second shot is from the fairway. Even if the splash was visible, his ball magically avoids hazards.

And, never, ever, question his count of his strokes. He knows some guys who know some guys ...

I think golf with Trump is a whole nuther world.

Since he can't hit it 200, I'd see their every move.
And, I can count. So, I know when a five wasn't a five!!!

I think the point being made is, as with everything else, the only way tRump wins is if he cheats. You must have heard the story of him taking the club championship title away from a 14 year old kid (sorry, the details are hazy) by having his caddy lie about hitting a ball in the water, which magically appeared on the green. He’s scum.

That kid was giving PINO a stroke a hole.
He still had to cheat.
On top of that, the club championship never can down to a handicapped match. Until that year.
And, he still had to cheat!

Therefore he has to cheat. Now, you and I, and I would hope most humans, would take no pleasure or pride in claiming a victory knowing that we cheated to claim that victory. It totally speaks to tRumps pathology that it doesn’t matter to him how he got the victory, only that he can claim it. The “winning” is all that matters. Which is what makes this next election cycle so fraught with danger.

Look at the pros- there are short tall skinny fat etc.
some people just have something that makes them better than you’d think. There is nothing about Davis Love III that says professional athlete. Just saying.

Oh and he does cheat a lot. Anything within 10 is a gimme to him. The stories are legendary from Alice Cooper saying he was the worst cheat he’d ever seen to Oscar De La Hoya’s story.

22. Have You Seen Davis Love Swing?
Sat Jun 27, 2020, 05:59 PM

Yeah, me too. It's the swing of someone who is good at it.
Have you seen PINO swing?
Yeah, me too.
It's a hacker's swing.
I never said anything about his physical ability, UP!
I said his skills are obviously bad. We can see it with our own eyes.
Even a weird swing like Furyk's has a flow to it. His lower body position at impact is perfect. His putting stroke is smooth as silk.
On those three criteria, PINO is fail, fail, fail.
I'm not judging his game on how HE looks. It's on how the important things in golf look.
He ain't got it.

I shot 74 today. 2 birdies, 4 bogeys, 12 pars. The last thing I ever think about is my wrist action!
I never even use a wrist cock in the short game.
But, I have a smooth swing that others describe as an "easy swing".
PINO looks like he's trying to throw the club farther than the ball.
Now that I retired, I pretty much play every day. (Except rainy days). No subbing because of COVID, so I literally have nothing better to do. Best of all, my wife doesn't mind, because I never hang out after. Go, play, come home.
I've been breaking 80 probably 95% of the time.
And, I don't consider myself a terrific golfer. Just fairly good.

The tristate area implemented a self quarantine rule for people coming from various states including AZ.

My guess is that the Secret Service told him that they would not violate local law unnecessarily and would have to change his protective detail for the trip which isn't practical so they forced him to cancel.

VA doesn't have the same self quarantine restrictions.
