Tee-time tantrum! Furious Donald Trump SMASHES his club into the ground after disappointing swing in front of fellow golfers including PGA star Bryson DeChambeau
.... Trump took to his golf course on Saturday as well, accompanied by his once-again close ally Senator Lindsey Graham and with rising LPGA star Jaye Marie Green.
It was believed to be the first time Trump met with Graham since late last month, when the Republican from South Carolina made a pilgrimage to Mar-a-Lago to beseech the former president for support in several key GOP senate races in the 2022 midterms.
Graham had harsh words for Trump following the January 6 riot at the US Capitol, repudiating the former president's claims of election fraud.
But, just as after their harsh battle in the 2016 primaries, Graham has apparently wiggled back into Trump's good graces, in part by staunchly opposing his conviction in a second Senate impeachment trial.
Graham has previously credited golf with helping foster his close alliance with Trump.
Their relationship blossomed in earnest in October 2017, when Graham made an improbable claim on Twitter that Trump had shot a 73 on the par-72 Championship course at Trump National Golf Club Washington. ....

(64,995 posts)Nearly every golfer does a club slam from time to time.
Maybe not this intense, and the two handed overhead move is a bit much, but from duffer to neophyte to top tier pro, every golfer does this.
A recurring error in a day will get me to slam it down. Not from over my head, and more a snap of the wrist.
But, I can find a lot more things to loathe this guy. Getting angry on the golf course isn't among them.

What's DeChambeau's excuse, now that Donnie-boy is just another guy?

Hubby and I usually have the weekend match/game (?) on in the background as we go about our day. I was curious why DeChambeau wasnt at it. Maybe he didnt make the cut this week.
Interesting. Not sure if he will find this was advantageous use of his time.
