Trump has a tantrum on the golf course — slams clubs into the green


Former President Donald Trump apparently had a bad day on the golf course Sunday, according to the Daily Mail. The Mar-a-Lago club owner was on his golf course when he was captured

The video appears to show Trump moving his ball slowly toward the hole with his putter.

He appeared in his signature red MAGA hat, white collared shirt and slacks. He was photographed beating his club into the grass, though it's unclear what shot he made or didn't make that prompted the outburst.

In golf, it's a rules violation. A player has to stroke the ball, i.e., hit it with the putter. You can't drag the ball into the hole.

Trump was once asked if he cheats at golf. He responded, "I've cheated on my wives. I've cheated on my taxes. Of course, I cheat at golf."

To play well, you have to put in hours and hours of practice. Some people like to do this!

The rules, while highly detailed, are really not hard to learn. But for many people, they just want to spend time outdoors with their friends.

Of course, there are many amateurs who forget that they're not on the professional tour...

One man and his teenage son went golfing with Trump. The boy hit his ball closer to the hole than Donald Trump did.

Trump then walked over and claimed the boy's golf ball is his.

Another story has Trump kicking an opponent's golf ball off the green when he thought no one was looking.
