2. Actually, Trump does cheat on those.

How Golf Explains Trump by Rick Reilly is quite eye-opening. Apparently he is a fairly decent golfer, but still cheats all the time, every game. Plus he claims to have won tournaments he was never in, or that never actually exist.

4. Of course Trump cheats on two-footers

He's well known in the golf world as someone who "rakes in" his putts. This means he stands on the opposite side of the hole from the ball then uses his putter to drag the ball towards the hole (as well as himself). If it goes in the hole, all's good. If it doesn't appear to be going in, he'll pick it up before it reaches the hole.

Either that or he simply declares it a "gimme" and picks it up. Concession of a putt is reserved to the player's opponent; you can't call it for yourself.

The thing about golf is that there are basically two ways to play the game. In the pure sense, players follow the rules exactly and honestly. This means counting every shot and assessing every penalty. That's the ambition of all serious golfers, both professional and amateur.

The second way to play golf is to go out with your friends, hit balls around the course, maybe drink a few beers and have a great time without really caring about the score.

Both methods are legitimate but have obvious differences.

Trump golfs as if he's playing the pure form but he's really a cheat at every turn on the course. I cannot imagine it would be fun to play a round with such a blowhard! I recommend Sports Illustrated writer Rick Reilly's "Commander-In-Cheat" which chronicles many of Trump's bullshits on the great game of golf.

13. *snerk* Good one. Here's another response about trump cheating at golf:

At Winged Foot, where Trump is a member, the caddies got so used to seeing him kick his ball back onto the fairway they came up with a nickname for him: “Pele.”

Sad.

12. I have played several sports that had cheaters. They are awful and make one not enjoy playing.

Cheating at golf is stupid, but I have seen people do it.

5. Donald Trump doesn't care if there's a Post Office to deliver your Social Security check, if fact

he doesn't even care if there's a Social Security to send the checks out.

Trump doesn't care if you, your parents, or your grandparents get their medications.

The VA sends prescriptions through the mail, if Trump gets his way and destroys the Post Office, the Veterans of the United States won't get their medications.

15. George Lopez said he golfed with Trump and Trump had a guy they called Rabbit.

When Trump would drive the ball, Rabbit would take off running down the fairway ahead of everyone else to "locate" Trump's golf ball.

Lopez said it was obvious to everybody that Rabbit was moving/substituting Trump's golf ball.

And Trump didn't care that everyone knew he was cheating.

17. Trump is a 2 inch putz. That's about as close as it's gonna get.

18. I've heard of some people having two left feet when dancing

But never two footed putts!
