Trump’s friends defend his cheating, but in a way you might not expect. “My rounds with him have been some of the most fun days I’ve ever had playing golf,” says longtime NBA and college basketball coach Mike Dunleavy. “Yeah, he moves it and kicks it and all that, but no money changes hands at the end. There’s a wager, yeah, but then nobody pays anybody. So that’s not really cheating to me. It’s just fun.”
To show how much fun, Dunleavy tells a story about he and Trump as partners in a game against two of their buddies. Dunleavy hits his approach shot onto the corner of a kidney-shaped green that left him no possible putt. He was going to have to chip it off the green or somehow try to putt through the fringe and hope it came out back onto the green. Trump, his partner, came over and secretly knocked the ball on to a part of the green where Dunleavy could putt it. Dunleavy picked it up and put it back where it was.
“That’s when Donald starts yelling to the other two,” Dunleavy recalls. “He goes, ‘Guys, guys! I wanna tell you how great a guy Coach is. I knocked his ball over here so he could have a putt at it. But then he put it back! And that’s why he’s an unemployed coach and I’m worth $13 billion.”

This piece was copied from an article about cheating on golf.com. Interesting in that it mentions Dunleavy and The Donald as playing partners:

There's another story about him playing against Mike Tirico. He kicked his ball into a sand trap! As a matter of fact, he kicks the ball so often, his into the fairway and his opponents into trouble, that the caddies dubbed him "Pele".
Schmuck on the golf course, schmuck in real life. There's a reason domestic banks won't touch him. And to be fair, other Presidents have been well known to cheat on the golf course. Just not as arrogantly as Trump. Then again, there's never been as arrogant a man in the White House as our sitting President.

I've seen guys from all walks of life do the same thing, including stepping on the opponets ball, so I am not surprised one bit......as far as arrogance, I would much rather have that, then a president who bent over, grab his ankles, spreard his mulit racial cheeks and allowed the world to jam their political and economic agenda up his azz.....and if you were so concerned about arrogance in the White House, why the hell did ya vote for Bill Clinton, a true POS, who in my opinion had Vince Foster "hit"DfromCT wrote: ↑Tue Apr 02, 2019 7:17 pm There's another story about him playing against Mike Tirico.

Who voted for either Clinton (Bill, Hillary or even Obama for that matter?) Not liking Trump doesn't mean you're a democrat. That's just the divide our country faces when today's political discussion is dominated by the extremes on the right and left rather than the majority in the moderate middle.
Woody, did you admire any of those cheaters? I know I've seen all sorts on the course, and didn't respect anyone that cheated on the golf course. As a caddie, that's one thing. As a player, that's entirely different.

+1,000,000. In Obama, never has the U.S. had a president who cared less about the U.S. Clinton won in ‘92 only because Daddy Bush lost interest in being president, and too many women fell for Clinton’s good ole boy “I feel your pain” schtick.golfnut69 wrote: ↑Wed Apr 03, 2019 5:44 amI've seen guys from all walks of life do the same thing, including stepping on the opponets ball, so I am not surprised one bit......as far as arrogance, I would much rather have that, then a president who bent over, grap his ankles, sprerad his mulit racial cheeks and allowed the world to jam their political and economic agenda up his azz.....and if you were so concerned about arrogance in the White House, why the hell did ya vote for Bill Clinton, a true POS, who in my opinion had Vince Foster "hit"DfromCT wrote: ↑Tue Apr 02, 2019 7:17 pm There's another story about him playing against Mike Tirico.
