while he pretends not to do the same. It's his thing. I think it's what long-term, chronic petulance does to an undisciplined mind that believes itself a doctor instead of the patient.

And, if Joe shoots 96, he says he shot 96, not 73.
The only thing true about TFG shooting a 73 is that he was actually at 73; half way through the 13th hole!

Ever consider why we have the expressions of 'on a tee' to describe something easy to do? Because hitting a golf ball is easy. The ball is literally placed at your feet on something that makes it stay put for you to aim at--unlike other sports where you have to deal with a moving ball. Nearly every factor in the ball's design, from those dimples to the materials they're made from, also makes the most of lift and distance when you do hit it.

It's so easy to hit a golf ball that kids play the sport. When I was young, my family lived in an exclusive gated community that had its own golf course. Kids as young as 7 or 8 would be playing in the summer because they were bored and had nothing else to do in the pre-Atari world we lived in.

If youngsters can hit a golf ball, just about anyone can.

He can't ride a monowheel bicycle.

He can't pull negative 6G in a solo fighter jet.

He can't fly AF1 or that helicopter.

He can't waterski or ride a jet ski.

He can't charm the pants off a young female intern, like Pres Bill Clinton could. (How ya doin' Monika? Doin' ok by all accounts.)
(Actually, Joe wouldn't actually think of something like that.)

But he can do the important POTUS stuff. And wear cool aviator sunglasses at the same time.

I would love to see TSF give the uneven bars a go. Or, even better, a double and a half twist off a vault! The sprint to the vault alone would probably kill him.

He just doesn't get that plenty of people are better athletes than he ever lied about being. Or how much dedication and bloody hard work it takes to get there. People like us remember being out on a genuinely cold morning to get in good miles on a bike or on foot (in my case), and we didn't whinge about it nearly as much as TSF has about being cold while sitting on his fat arse in a courtroom.

What a spoiled, lazy prat he is.

You and Biden Mano a Mano on Bethpage Black. No mulligans. No cheating. Someone else keeps your scorecard. If you win Biden gives you $1 million. If you lose you change your pleas to guilty in all four trials.

Golfers have to walk this rugged course. It’s over 5 miles (I think) from the first tee to the 18th green. There are many elevation changes. It’s a beautiful woodland course that is tough and long but fair. There’s only one water hole and the greens are relatively flat but fast. The carries off the tees are pretty long. It’s a fantastic course without any gimmicks.

No motor cart for Trump. If he were to hit into the rough, the “Black Grass” will prevent “Pele” from kicking his ball out.

Trump sucks.

I’ve played the Black many times although I prefer the Red.

They play a round of golf with caddies to carry their clubs, no golf carts. Strict rules of golf and two officials at least with each player to ensure legitimacy and a fair game.

Plus potty breaks between holes, huffing and puffing, stopping for wiping of sweat from his brows.

All the while, Joe jogs to each shot, smiles, and swings. Not even having to stop to adjust his Aviators.

I would pay to see that happen.

All the time.

Biden should say he has read that Trump kicks the ball out of the rough all the time.

We need to get pictures Of Biden in his college football uniform and put it next to a picture of the reform school bowling captain. Or hit Trump back with a total of his time on the golf course during his term. Or a picture of Trump during his term, driving a golf cart on the green.

34. Sportswriter Who Golfed With Trump Reveals Exactly How He Cheats At The Game
Sat May 11, 2024, 09:23 AM
May 11

TFG cheats at every thing and cannot accept that he loses at anything. I am seeing a number of articles poking fun at TFG's cheating at golf.



https://www.huffpost.com/entry/rick-reilly-trump-golf-cheat_n_6603bd13e4b07b8c86dfbc4e

Sportswriter Rick Reilly is calling BS on Donald Trump after the former president declared himself the winner of both the club championship and senior club championship at the Trump International Golf Club in Florida.

“He’s never won a championship at a course he doesn’t own and operate,” Reilly, who has golfed with Trump, said on MSNBC on Tuesday. “He’s played in Pebble Beach, he’s played in the Tahoe one, where there are rules and judges and cameras. And in those, he’s never finished in the top half. So he wins when anybody who disagrees that he won is out of the club. That’s how he gets it.”

Reilly, who wrote an entire book on how Trump cheats at golf, said the former president even confessed one of his methods: When he buys a golf course, he plays the first round alone and declares himself the course champion.

And that’s not the only trick up Trump’s sleeve.

Reilly said golfers have to trust each other because of the vast distances on the course and the fact that no referees are keeping watch ― and Trump takes full advantage of that.

The former president “always gets a turbo-charged golf cart that goes three times as fast as yours, so he’s always 200 yards ahead, and that gives him time to cheat.”

TFG hates these articles and so it fun seeing Biden mock TFG and his golf game
