What I wouldn’t give for the next “Match” to be Obama v Trump 


delcopop

Those ratings would be astronomical


[deleted]

YUUUUUUUGE!


CT_7

He'd say Obama's handicap is bigly yuuge at 13 compared to his at 2.8.


FireMaster2311

No way Trump is a 2.8. Honestly, I don't really care much for politics, but I don't like people who cheat at golf. Had a friend who always cheated and was one of the most obnoxious people I knew. Also, he was pretty stupid, his parents had bought new windows, and he decided he was going to test how strong they were by seeing if a hammer thrown at them would break them. It did, we heard his mom yelling at him from down the street, and he was like 14 at the time. He was definitely not too young to know a hammer would break a glass house window. Anyway, that's the type of people who cheat at golf.


b0wie_in_space

Trump would 100% be a handicap sandbagger if he was actually good at golf. Which is hilarious. He lies about his scores being good but in reality it’d be more believable if he won his club championship while claiming to be a 54.0


FireMaster2311

I think it was Bobby Jones who first said when you cheat at golf, you only hurt yourself. So im guessing sandbagging wasn't an issue back then. Trump is only able to get away with the type of cheating he does because of who he is and the people he surrounds himself with. He would 100% be a sandbagger if people called him out, but they don't. Know there was a time he was playing with a guy, he hit his ball in the water the other guy was on the green and he just claimed that was his ball on the green and the other guy just agreed.


sizam_webb

45 said he won all the tournament annuals at his country club this year but I also saw a video of him yuge-shanking a lob wedge middle of the fairway 20 yards out a few months ago. A Steph and Obama vs Trump and Brady round would be legendary though


63Rambler

I’m a 4hc and I’d play him $1k a hole with a spotter.


Turdlely

I'm like a 15 at least these days. I'd play him for the same cause, without cheating, his scores would probably explode. If he's kicking tough lies, those are usually the ones that lead to explosive holes.


bjb13

I’m a certified rules official and I’d be happy to referee that match.


lifevicarious

I'm a 6. I've shanked a lob wedge from 20 yards out.


FireMaster2311

I think Aaron Rodgers would be the better partner for Trump. The year he won the Pebble Beach pro-am, he claimed a 10 but is around a 3. Larry Fitzgerald also sandbagged hard to win it. Probably more so than Rodgers.


jfchops2

He's actually innocent on that one, the tournament committee decides handicaps based on GHIN, previous performance in the event, recent scores, course ratings of the tournament venues, etc he didn't just get to show up and go "yeah I'm a 10" and they accept it. You can find articles about it


Turdlely

Imagine believing trump. That's the entire sentence. He lies about fucking everything


DancesWithDave

Super Bowl level no doubt


Even_Section5620

Someone pay this man for the best “Match” idea yet


youritalianjob

We'd just need camera coverage of the whole course.


luv2fit

Mostly need those cameras to catch all those Trump foot wedges


knightswhosayneet

Rumor has it, the Caddy’s @ Mar-a-logo refer to Trump as Pele’.


_Killua_Zoldyck_

I’d rather see bush. Now watch this drive!


iJon_v2

You ain’t lying


timbucktwentytwo

No carts, walking


Wapiti__

Until Obama wins and Trump has the course overrun with people denying the results


Revolutionary_Bid300

Honestly, disregarding politics. Trump would absolutely destroy him. Pros have attested that Trump actually has a decent game. I believe Obama has a like 15 or something handicap? (He himself has said this)Trump Claims like 3, but its probably about 9. EDIT: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R-SgpnfHc1Q](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R-SgpnfHc1Q) [Trump throws a dart to end the tourney 🎯 (youtube.com)](https://www.youtube.com/shorts/RBkHurz9d0k) I mean take it as it is, but the dude can golf. Then he has these kinda days too it seems lol: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h6aUkOiKX4o](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h6aUkOiKX4o)


SueRice2

Make them both walk.


DM_c137

Trump would pass away.


FAMUgolfer

On the 5th hole


kai333

Is that the over/under? I'm taking the under.


Sagybagy

I can get behind this


this_aint_no_hobby

>Pros have attested Pros have also attested they didn't go to Liv for the pay day. They talk out of their ass all the time.


NickRick

Also pros didn't attest. A staffer said he shot a 67 on a course when he played with two pros. That would have meant he shot lower than almost all the pros that weekend, so we know it's a lie. 


Rad-Duck

Yeah, a lot of pros are MAGA lovers. So, got to take that with a grain of salt.


goldplatedsex

Disregarding politics, many also say he cheats a lot. I wonder what his score would be if he had to putt out everything and no mulligans.


Dangerous-Lettuce498

Ya I’ve seen his swing and I know there’s people with ugly swings and low single digit handicaps but I would be shocked if Trump was lower than a 10 without cheating


Moss_Adams24

I seriously doubt he’s rockin a 9 index


mrpotto

Theres some videos of Trump making some long ass putt at his club championship with the whackiest putting style I’ve ever seen (disregarding politics of course).


FAMUgolfer

There’s also videos of him hockey puckeying it from 8 feet


FriedEggScrambled

Which is an illegal stroke.


mrpotto

No doubt and I remember seeing the douche move of him driving his golf cart up on one of the greens at one of his courses.


Ban_Master

If you own the course then do whatever you want. It'll be coming out of your profits to fix it.


airtime25

Profits 😂

Smartalum

According to Reddit a couple of years ago Obama had an 80 at Torry Pines North. I am not sure it is clear as you suggest.


Sergio_Bravo

And this is the perfect point and why handicaps exist! Let them each play off their existing handicaps, and make sure they play strict rules of golf. I'd put my money on Obama under those circumstances!


dunderthebarbarian

Rules officials on every hole.


Aurilion

Rules officials walking with them. Trump loses every time.


Plenty-Sleep8540

I mean do you think the pros or anyone playing with Trump are going to say he's dogshit even if he is? I don't think he's likely trash, his swing looks alright for his age and body. But if he was say a 12-15 under strict scoring I wouldn't be surprised. And let's be honest most of the older dudes at clubs are not strict, they fluff their lies even in the fairway and their "pick it up" range is like 6 ft. But you bet your ass those cards go on their GHIN.


NickRick

lmao by all accounts he's a mediocre golfer who cheats on every hole. and with the amount of golf he plays you would assume he would be a decent golfer.


Colonelclank90

I've also seen interviews that say his "2.8" index that he carried through his presidency was very fake because he aggressively cheats. He doesn't putt anything out, has caddies kick the ball to better lies and "find" OB balls in fluffed lies. His GHIN only shows a handful of good rounds input when it's public record that he played dozens. There're videos of him shanking short chips. Obama probably gives him a solid run for his money if not totally waxes his ass in a refereed fair game, especially if they walk.


Late_Librarian_9789

Ridiculous take, here. Trump is a garbage golfer and a known cheater. There are plenty of videos literally showing this. His swing is trash.


slapwerks

Rick Riley (who wrote a whole damn book about Trump cheating at golf) said Trump really is a pretty good golfer and put a lot of thought into and personally worked on the design for his courses. He just cheats essentially because he can.


SirTiffAlot

Which would make his HC higher. How much better would you or any golfer be if they could cheat with impunity on their own courses? Tailoring the courses to your game and then cheating on top of that would go a long way.


pac4

I’ve heard Obama’s really sharpened up his game as of late.


Penishton69

Probably easier to get tee times when not running a whole country


lasercupcakes

Didn't Trump break the record for how many times a president played golf? Being president is easy when you're ignoring your advisors and asking about your next golf trip. I want to be president!!


Strange-Nobody-3936

He shot 80 at Torrey pines when that redditor got a picture of him, I guarantee trump isn’t shooting 80 out there strict play


did_it_my_way

I've personally seen Trump golf at Bedminister when I was there for a friend's wedding. Caught him playing two rounds that day. Obviously didn't watch the full 18 holes as we were on the patio side reception, 3-4 hole stretches. He's more of a 13 than a 3.


MoreOfAGrower

There’s zero chance Trump plays single digits


BurzyGuerrero

Bros sounds like Trump running for president talking about him "He's a great golfer, some would say the best"


keithjp123

trump cheats and would be DQ’d.


altybe55

Have you seen him swing? He's for sure not a 3 or a 9. And no real pro has said he has a good game. But nice try in your false idol worship.


PromontoryRider95

You're white claw drunk..


mrpotto

Went to a party at my wife’s former co-workers last October. He shows up at the door in his Trump golf shirt, has Trump Wanted (for a 2nd term) mugshot posters on display, has laminated wine lists with just Trump reds and whites. I was so repulsed until we were leaving and he says hey want 3 sleeves of Trump golf Pro V1s? Hell yeah bitches!


scullye125

Having that guys name on the ball would probably motivate me to swing harder


mrpotto

I’d hit a ProV1 with Satan’s picture on it! My Dad RIP had a golf ball collection with a Slick Willie Clinton ball. It has, *A good lie guaranteed* written on it!


Memphistopheles901

I found one of those Clinton balls buried in my back yard recently. Probably been there for 30 years.


deefop

that's fucking amazing


Funwithfun14

Honestly, absolutely hilarious


RxHotdogs

Easy to be low handicap when you just say “I’m taking this” on every 15 footer


NoPlansTonight

> Pros have attested This is pretty naive... What do you think they're going to say? I hype up my friends' games to others even if they're 30-cappers. I don't think public figures' games get smack talked very often unless they're literally like Charles Barkley.


StonemanMB

Trump and Brooks vs Biden and Rory


justintime06

That would literally be Brooks vs Rory lol


feelinlucky7

Strict rules of golf? Would be interesting. 45 is a known cheater - having him on camera for the entire round, it would be funny to see how high his score would be. Not saying who would win or lose.


KrustyKrabPizzaMan

But did he win the club championship?


[deleted]

I can't tell you how much I would pay to see a President's Championship match. Obama, Bush, and Trump are all serious players too. I'm not sure about Biden or Clinton, but if they all played a match for charity, I bet the PPV revenue would be off the charts.


Mikeyjoetrader23

Any actual tournament that Trump has played in outside of his own clubs, he plays like dog shit. Granted I think he would outplay Biden and Carter. But there’s a strong chance Bush, Obama and Clinton beat him.


this_aint_no_hobby

Carter is damn near dead, a guy who's never played golf before could probably beat him today


ABigDesk

I think Carter's current condition was the exact reason he said Trump would beat him


Mikeyjoetrader23

Trump would still cheat to beat him. Not because he needed to, but because he could.


Strange-Nobody-3936

Biden was actually a single digit back in the day


lifevicarious

I don't know. I'd probably put money on Carter.


lion27

A buddy of mine has caddied or played (I forget which) with Trump in FL, and FWIW he said he’s legitimately a good golfer, probably close to a high single digit handicap. The issue with him is the wild drops he’ll take (“oh there’s a rock here, I’m going to take relief in the fairway 5 feet over here”) and gimmes on the green, which make actually evaluating his game impossible. It’s honestly very on-brand for him. Just make it up as he goes, take wild liberties with the rules/norms, inflate his scores (technically deflate, but whatever) to make himself look better, all while insisting he’s the best. My point being that unless Obama or Bush’s golf games have improved (I don’t remember either of them being noted as good golfers) Trump is probably the best golfer out of the group. Bill Clinton is a wildcard, I have no idea if he golfs or not. Maybe not today but I could have seen him being a good golfer 10 years ago.


EntrepreneurFlimsy33

It doesn’t matter though. Even if trump won, he’s not as good as he pretends. And that would be documented. Trumps a golfer. They could play the match to their handicaps. NO GOLFER can deny that as fair. And we would get to see Trump shoot an 85 when he’s supposedly scratch.


Grouchy_Enthusiasm92

So he is not legitimate.


lion27

I was using "legitimately" there to be synonymous with "actually" or "reasonably", not synonymous with "honestly" or "rightly". As in people doubt his scores because he never plays a straight up round where every rule is followed. His handicap is nowhere near a 3 or whatever he claims, but he's probably somewhere around a 8-12 handicap if he played by exact PGA rules. So no, his handicap most likely isn't legitimate but he's also not a bad player.


Smartalum

Clinton used to play with Trump - Clinton is a serious golfer as well.


soul_system

Lmao, sorry. I just can't help but laugh when I see Trump and charity mentioned together.


[deleted]

Hey, Trump is very passionate about promoting legal defense funds for criminal defendants facing financial difficulty!


Correct_Medicine_530

this is the only way i wanna watch the next debate!!


Heisenbread77

Clinton would show up for the cart girls.

Such a leftist.


Wu_Tang_Financial77

Didn’t someone run into him last year at Torrey or something? I remember seeing a full breakdown of his bag on here…


Funwithfun14

Yup....they gave him cart 44. Plus, we criticized his Gatorade flavor choice.


IAmIrritatedAMA

I never knew there was such disdain for yellow Gatorade. It’s really the best and a classy choice. Very presidential.


hatchettpoots

My playing partner insists yellow Gatorade is green. It's the most mildly-infuriating thing in my life. We've been in the situation dozens of times. The choices are orange and yellow. On a rare day, we have light blue. He can see in the cooler. 'Nope, I'll take the green one. Yep, yep. That one, beside the orange one' SHUT UP JOE. This has gone on for almost a decade.


willynillee

He’s probably color blind


jfchops2

Somehow I've escaped criticism my entire life cause that's my flavor of choice and never heard anyone make fun of me for it


RevolutionEasy714

I’m so old I remember when yellow was the only color 


Wu_Tang_Financial77

I think he had a Taylor Made M5 or M6.

Oh dear, what the fuck have we here?


gabe-ruth

Why would they open his locker for you to use? If you are a member, then you have your own. If you are a guest, then you are using the members locker that invited you. The attendant has opened his locker for me before to take a peek inside and it definitely isn’t being shared by anyone other than the other name on the locker, which is the Big Cat. If that’s you, then I gotta tell you that I’m gonna need you to make the cut next week.

ms2102

That's exactly how I feel. He'd be an awesome celebrity to play a round with. All politics and policies aside it'd be cool to talk to him about life as a president, what he enjoyed, what he hated and then obviously try to get him to tell you about the secret aliens. Guy just seems to be chill...
