They posted video of Trump’s “hole-in-one” at his own golf tournament this weekend (that he “won”). Curiously, we don’t get to see the shot.

1. "Unbelievable" is right

[rurallib]

2. can't believe that's even bumblefuck

he would have given his cart all the way to the hole

[malaise]

4. Because

it did not fucking happen

[Tommy Carcetti]

5. Found: The footage of the actual shot.

As you can see, it clearly is a Trump branded golf course.

Vladimir Putin scored an amazing 8 goals today to lead his hockey team to a 13-9 victory. Highlights on Russian TV tonight show opponents playing horrible defense on Putin like their life depended on it (which it did).

[sop]

18. Then he face-planted during his victory lap.

[cilla4progress]

7. Can't unsee that

flabby ass of his.

[Emile]

8. Wow, he should go pro!

[SoonerPride]

21. Many people come up to me and say "sir please go pro."

All the best people are saying it.

[struggle4progress]

22. Big. Strong. Tears. Eyes. TV.

[NQAS]

9. Kim Jung don?

Trump don un?

Trump il sung?

Don Jung un?

Hole in one. Every day. Every hole.

He’s a fucking lunatic.

[SKKY]

25. That's exactly what I was thinking when I read this...

... I remember watching a documentary on North Korea and the new golf course in Pyong Yang. Supposedly, Kim Jong-il played the very first round and shot a 38, or some nonsense like that.

[Hoyt]

10. The POS can barely lean over to pull out his ball.

[sop]

13. He really had to stretch that right leg out to the side to get down that far.

[Walleye]

11. He once offered $1 million prize for a hole-in-one during a tournament at his golf course

When a guy actually made the hole-in-one, Trump accused him of cheating and refused to pay. The guy finally sued him and Trump paid a settlement into a charity. That’s how much respect he has for golf

[Emile]

17. LOL that sounds like him!

[Walleye]

19. His bragging about his shot reminded me of this low class move on his part

[Initech]

33. Wow, I am not at all shocked he would try to pull something like that.

[renate]

41. did he actually pay the charity?

And if he did, was "Trump" part of its name?

[Walleye]

42. That is a good question. I know it was 100,000 or something not 1 million

[Totally Tunsie]

46. You can probably bet that chump took the charitable deduction on HIS taxes

if it never directly landed into the hands of the hole-in-oner.

[Tanuki]

12. And Chairman Mao swam the Yangtze River!! Really fast!! 🤣

https://medium.com/china-media-project/the-jury-is-out-mao-zedong-swam-faster-than-todays-olympic-champions-d01a38bee2f3


..."On July 26, 1966, Taiwan’s United Daily reported on Mao Zedong’s swim in the Yangtze and used calculations provided by sports expert Chen Fuyu (陈福榆 based on world swimming records. The newspaper calculated that with the river current accounting for about 70 percent of the total speed, the course on the Yangtze would take 72 minutes if world record speed was maintained. But Mao Zedong’s time was 65 minutes. “Well, it would seem that his speed surpassed that of world champions,” the newspaper wrote. “The absurdity of this lie,” the article added, “draws laughter from outside China.”...)more)

[ProfessorGAC]

14. Of Course Not

If they showed the video, it would be of him being on the seniors tees, and that he hit a 5 iron from 125 yards, not 181. (Which is where his playing partners teed off.)
I can see the ace being real. Some mid level golfer gets lucky on a par 3 every day. Nearly 130,000 are made every year.
But, there's no way a 75 year guy, with that jerky swing, hit 5 iron into a breeze on a 181 yard hole.
So, he can't even celebrate an actual ace without lying about it.

[Kingofalldems]

23. Read his statement--it went from soft breeze to stiff wind in 2 sentences.

No way hits a 5 iron 180 in conditions like he himself described.

[ProfessorGAC]

24. He Couldn't Carry A 5 Iron 180...

...if there was a hurricane at his back.
That's why no video.
Either he hit driver from 180, or a 5 iron from 125.
Either way, he's lying.

[Kingofalldems]

26. Agree.

Effing Ernie Els is a disgrace to associate with a guy who makes fun of the handicapped when he himself has an autistic child.

[ProfessorGAC]

29. Els Is A Punk

I ran into him a couple times in the old Western Open days.
A surly tool!

[Kingofalldems]

31. So he's nice to the right people.

I get it.

And BTW he is getting hammered on twitter.

[ProfessorGAC]

34. Good!

He was Mickelson light. Friendly to the fans, as long as he was inside the ropes.
Not as big a jerk as Mickelson, but big enough.

[Raster]

15. tRump* has NEVER hit a hole-in-one in his entire life.

[ProfessorGAC]

35. I'm Leaning Toward It Being True

There are almost 130,000 holes in one every year in the US. About one every 3,500 rounds. (Full disclosure: based on that I should have 1.8 holes in one, by now, but I've got none. Very close, but no cigar.)
Some golfers get lucky, every single day.
So, I believe it happened.
What is an obvious lie is that he claims it was a 5 iron from 180 yards, into the wind.
He either hit driver & saying 5 iron seems more impressive, or he played the hole from the forward tees and used 5 iron from 125 yards.
But, there's an obvious lie in his version.

[Diablo del sol]

43. understand your logic - but NAH!

Look at the low excitement high fives, especially Els coming in at the end. Very little excitement. Els body language make it look likes it was staged. Could have been a chip in for a boggie using a five iron to run it in from off the fringe. I have seen more excitement from my group when someone gets and Eagle.

Edit - Just watched again with sound, it was staged. The dry narration, Els looking extremely uncomfortable to be seen as a part of the charade.

[ProfessorGAC]

45. I'll Trust You

I don't want to watch it again.

[lpbk2713]

16. That 45 on his cap ...

Is that supposed to be a target for an M1911?

[Chainfire]

28. Naw, if someone hit the "45" with a .45 they could do no damage.

Two holes in the cap where it bounced right off.

[dchill]

20. "'Afraid you've been playing with the wrong ball...

...Here's my Penfold Hearts and this is a Number Seven Dunlop.”

[sdfernando]

30. In the movie version Goldfinger played a Slazenger 1 which

Bond switched to a Slazenger 7.

[dchill]

37. I know. I just went with the original ancient scroll!

[sdfernando]

38. :)...I never read the book so you taught me something.

I thought "thats not right" then looked it up. Yep, Dunlop in the book and Slazenger in the movie.

[dchill]

39. Call me Sensei.

[Mr.Bill]

27. I don't see what the big deal is.

He's probably hit hundreds of them.

[Initech]

32. Why am I suddenly getting Goldfinger cheating vibes from him?

[maxrandb]

36. He's confusing this with something else

It was Stormy Daniels who said it only took one stroke.

[Brainfodder]

40. Next he will claim he doesn't need to ever urinate/defecate?

"He uses every calorie efficiently and that is why he is in such great shape per his very honest and trustworthy physicals and whatabout Hunter Biden's laptop?"

[WarGamer]

44. Ernie Els confirmed the shot...

He could be lying...
