It's from Golf Digest and it's ridiculously hagiographic. Still, Martin Hall is a pretty respectable golf swing analyst.

https://www.golfdigest.com/story/analyzing-trumps-golf-swing

Sorry if it makes you barf but it's an interesting article if you have any interest in golf. The most telling comment to me is where Hall says that Trump's swing appears to be untrained even though he hits a pretty good drive. That would fit with his personality because he always knows more than everyone else. Why would he, a 2.9 handicapper, need a teaching pro?!

Feb 2021

In Rick Reilly's book, "Commander-In-Cheat," he describes Trump as taking gimmes from as far away from the hole as 8'-10'!

He also kicks his playing partners' balls off the greens. That's in the same book.

Damn, I'm glad he's gone.

...if the putt was already for bogey, he'd pick up from anywhere on the green.
Picking up a 30 footer is saving at least one stroke, probably 2 an eighth of the time.
Stroke shaving is the worst kind of cheating and the fool is notorious for. 12-16 strokes a round. Sometimes more.

He is golfing.

Looks as fat and stiff as ever.

Being away from the White House will hurt his health, he's got terrible eating habits and I think the WH staff were able to make him eat healthier. Back home he's probably eating greasy food more.

An elderly obese man playing golf.

He's not wearing a red MAGA hat but a white one with maybe the Presidential Seal on it?

The elderly man is a cheater because he didn't putt out, instead giving himself a gimme.

What am I missing?

Even minor flaws in timing can cause balance issues especially if swinging harder than one should.
I have a pretty balanced swing, and I will fall off the follow through now & then.
And, I'm way better than that cheater.
Not sure that the balance loss in the swing is anything other than a flawed swing.

He thinks that makes him look thinner when he wears it. But of course he looks fat even with the tie on. He's got a terrible, awful golf swing and he almost lost his balance on the follow through.

He never putts his final putt, he just takes a freebie according to the book "Commander In Cheat."

I'm sure these guys Chump's playing with all know how he cheats his ass off.

(1) hiding the fact that he still cheats at golf? Which should be a Federal Crime in my book.
(2) hiding the fact that he still refuses to wear a mask? I suggest the one used in Silence of the Lambs by Hannibal Lector (with a little re-fitting for T's big head of course). -or-
(3) hiding the cost of the round of golf and all associated expenses in some shell company for a future fraudulent tax filing?
That’s all I got. I'm sure I missed it. TY

Mon Feb 15, 2021, 05:50 PM

he swings and then stumbles around from the momentum of it, though it wasn't a huge swing overall. Before that it's hard to tell what's a balance issue and what is the contour of the course. But on that last swing it seems quite clear.

That off balance is common and has nothing to do with age....should see how the macho men who think hitting the little ball is easy stagger & about fall on their asses. Just means Trump isn't a good player & doesn't have the basic fundamental of rhythm & balance.

and it's not a big swing he's taking at the end there.

It can happen, sure; it's happened to me before too, and I imagine most golfers at one point or another that you lose your balance following the follow through. So it happening in the one drive that we see isn't exactly conclusive of anything. But he clearly tries to keep his balance steady after the follow through and falters.

There are some old pros who couldn't keep their balance but knew how to compensate. In fact, go out in the morning behind the old duffers who are there every day & they stumble around. Actually, Trump does better than most of them of his age.

Mon Feb 15, 2021, 09:54 PM
Feb 2021

take a close look at the caddie, who happens to be the only African-American guy in the video (of course)? He's dressed in the white coveralls, which was a major tradition that began at Augusta National Golf Club, home of the MASTERS Tournament. Anyway, original Grand Slam champion Bobby Jones is the guy most associated with the founding the club back in the early 1930s, but the guy with the real power was a banker named Clifford Roberts.

Roberts was a notorious racist, and famously made the statement about the Masters tournament - "As long as I'm in charge, the players will be white, and the caddies will be black". For decades and decades, the professionals playing in the Masters were not allowed to bring their own caddies, and had to use caddies employed by the club, all of whom were black. Finally, sometime in the 1980s, the players made a big enough stink, and were finally allowed to use their own caddies, but they still had to wear the white coveralls.

Anyway, the bottom line is that the sight of the black caddie in the white coveralls was just another example of a Velveeta Voldemort throwback, to when he believed America was truly "great". Oh, and notice one more thing - the caddie is wearing a mask!
