There is no way he shoots in the seventies for 18 holes in golf. Watch the video, to shoot in the seventies you need a swing similar to Matsuyama. (there are some exceptions but very rare)
Matsuyama has a smooth repeatable swing, compare that to tRump who has anything but a repeatable swing. His fat ass and hips are moving. His practice swings follow one swing path and then he chops at the ball on his actual swing. Not at all uncommon, in fact most golfers have the problem. And most golfers are hackers, and shoot in the high 90s and 100s. Which is what I would guess tRump would shoot if he actually didn't cheat.
Now watch his shot, (at about 1:30 in the video) the ball doesn't show up on the green, watch the guys heads, the ball flies well over the green. So if we give him the benefit of the doubt that he is just off the green in two shots (or one on a par three) he needs to knock the shot close and putt it in for par. But the Donald flies the green, so on his next shot his is likely further from the hole. (if not out of bounds) But watch what happens, they pick up the ball and walk away. Donald likely took a par when in reality he would have got a bogey at best, likely double bogey, and possibly worse.
Look I am a 12 handicapper, which means I shoot in the mid 80s. And I guarantee you I would beat tRump like a drum and he claims to be a low single digit golfer. He couldn't break 90 with all the issues with his swing, and add his temperament and he likely shoots in the low 100s. For example, he just chipped across the green, make him play the next shot and likely he chips back across the green, then another chip, two putts and he scores an 8, not a 4.

(38,452 posts)He has way too much movement of the head and body. No way he shoots in the 70's. Unless of course he cheats.

(8,419 posts)That is straight hacker technique, or lack of, and he is a 100+ shooter.
I will give him credit, the photos I've seen of his driver swings have full follow through.

(38,452 posts)I wonder if he mentioned the word 'cheat' when Trump picked up a ball on the green.
