President Donald Trump reportedly took a baby’s golf ball to cheat and win a club championship in 2018, in step with the writer of a brand new ebook who spoke with individuals on the membership.
According to sportswriter Rick Reilly, whose new ebook Commander in Cheat explores Trump’s relationship with golfing and how it could shape his presidency, Trump’s choice to win goes even further than we had formally recognized.
Trump had overlooked the club championship at his Trump International course in Florida while attending an assembly with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un in Singapore.
About a month later, Trump became lower back at Trump International when he noticed Ted Virtue, an investor who is a member of the membership and had received the championship even as Trump turned away. Virtue was gambling with his son, who had changed into approximately 10 or 11 years old, consistent with Reilly, while Trump rode his cart to them at the twelfth hole.
Trump reportedly joked that Virtue most effectively gained his championship because he had been out of the city, after which he challenged him to play the last seven holes of the course for the title. Then, things got weird.
From Reilly, who established the tale with members of the membership:
Ted tries to giggle it off. However, Trump is dead extreme. Trump says, “We’re going to play those ultimate six holes for the championship.” And Ted’s like, “I’m gambling with my son, but thank you besides.” But Trump says, “No, your son can play too.” So they end up playing.
They get to a hollow with a massive pond on it. Ted and his son hit the ball on the green, and Trump hit him in the water. By the time they get to the hole, Trump is lining up the kid’s ball. Only now is it his ball, and the caddie has switched it. The children say, “Daddy, that’s my ball.”
But Trump’s caddie says, “No, that is the president’s ball; your ball went inside the water.” Ted and his son observe each other stressed, and they are unsure if that is going on virtually. And Trump’s caddie says, “This is the president’s ball. I do not know what to inform you.”
According to Golf.Com, Trump advised Virtue that they might be co-champions, but Trump’s locker at the club does not have a plaque indicating that he holds the title.
It’s just the ultra-modern in a series of testimonies that have come out approximately game during his presidency. Speaking with a Norwegian newspaper, LPGA golfer Suzann Pettersen said she had seen Trump’s dishonesty up near.
“He cheats like hell. So, I do not quite recognize how he’s in business. They say that in case you cheat at golf, you cheat at an enterprise,” Petterson said.
She endured: “He usually says he is the arena’s nice putter. But he is nowhere near breaking eighty in all the instances I’ve performed him. But what is atypical is that every time I speak to him, he says he just golfed a 69 or set a new path file or received a membership championship somewhere.”
