(24,783 posts)Lopez claims that when he golfed with Trump, there was a guy called Rabbit who would run down the course ahead of everyone else and "find" Donald's golf ball.
The golf ball that Rabbit found was often nowhere near where Trump hit it.

(193,281 posts)Tirico hits the best shot of his life off the deck from 250. 2nd shot on an 5. Everyone, including all the caddies, knew it was on the green. Mike is beaming the whole way up to the green. When he gets his putter and walks up to the green - no ball.
Trump as always left everyone and was first to the green.
Trumps own caddy walked by Tirico and a couple people and muttered He kicked it in the trap.

As reported by GOLF, Oscar De La Hoya said: "First ball. Trump hits off to the water, gets another ball from his pocket. Hits it off to the left, out of bounds. Trump said, Oh, I got another one, just warming up.
"Another one to the water. Then the fourth ball he hits I know it went to the bushes. But Donald, what he does, he tees off first so he can take off right away. I pipe mine down the middle. So we go off to our ball, and who do we see? Donald Trump, right in the middle of the fairway."
He continued: "As they pulled up, Trump said, 'By the way, I found my first ball, its right here'.
"Were like, OK, yeah, were cracking up, not in front of his face. Then we go on to a par-3. Theres a big bush right between the tee and the green, so you cant really see the green you can see the flag, not the green. Trump hits and we just know it went out of bounds. We know it. He takes off. We get up there and hes like, Oh, my balls right here! Three feet away. And by the way, Im going to pick it up, its a gimme.'

(24,256 posts)It's fairly true to the novel but in the book it's much more nuanced. Goldfinger uses every cheat in the world but Bond wins of course.
The novel by Ian Fleming are quite remarkable. Bond isn't the super hero as in the films. The first 3 or 4 films were closest to the novels. But by the fifth film, the writers were injecting so much humor that the stories lost their threatening villainess. Still, they're fun.

(24,256 posts)When accused of cheating at golf, on more than one occasion Trump has said, "I cheat on my taxes. I cheat on my wives. Do you really think I don't cheat at golf on a course that I own?!"

(3,054 posts)In golf, "lie" refers to the position of the ball relative to the ground and its surroundings. A "good lie" is when the ball rests on a relatively flat, even surface, like the middle of the fairway, allowing for a clean and predictable strike. A "bad lie" is when the ball is sitting down in thick rough, on an uneven surface, or in a divot, making it more challenging to hit.

(24,256 posts)In Rick Reilly's book. "Commander in Cheat," he tells a story about a couple of PGA pros who were asked why they played with Trump since he's a well known cheat. The players replied that they did it so they could have their own "Trump Cheats at Golf" story to tell!

(193,281 posts)DJ and Tiger were one team for some reason.
They gave Trump an extra stroke on 2 4s on each side or something like that.
Faxon, his partner, sees him tee off into the water and then drive off as he does. Faxon either saw him duff it back in the water or knew he was having trouble due to the time he was taking. When they all get in the green they compare where everyones at on the hole. Trump has to be lying 6 or 7 but says hes putting for 5.
Faxon said that hed heard that Trump cheated but Id never actually seen it! and shook his head.

(23,263 posts)it was suppsoed to be an "over the top" joke about cheating at golf. Mr. Burns would hit the ball into the middle of nowhere, and Smithers, the loyal toadie, would watch through binoculars and lie and say it is "right on the green!" then run ahead and put a ball on the green.
of course in that case, even Mr. Burns was not awful enough to go along with it. Mr. Burns did not know and was actually upset to find out Smithers was cheating on his behalf.
But trumpf is even worse than a joke about cheating at golf.

(13,187 posts)He's not hitting over that sand from the high grass, to the green, but I'll bet money his next stroke is a putt. My guess is his ball dropper will leave him a nice putt on the green, maybe even a gimme.

Trump whined that the Secret Service made it harder for him to cheat at golf: report
www.rawstory.com/trump-golf-2...
https://www.rawstory.com/trump-golf-2673773236/
Over the weekend, videos captured Trump's two caddies walking ahead of Trump's golf cart before one caddy appears to drop a ball on the course. Trump then hops out of the golf cart and walks to the ball as if it were there the whole time. The person Trump appeared to be playing with was following in his cart and walked over to the ball with Trump.
According to Dawsey, the team captured audio of Trump complaining that the Secret Service is in the trees and bushes all over his golf course as security and measure shown to be necessary when a man was accused of shooting at Trump through a fence in Sept. 2024 while he was playing at Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida.
According to Trump, the agents being in the trees at his courses "made it harder to move the ball when he had a bad lie," wrote Dawsy on X.
I hit a ball down the fairway, it's in a little rough, and there's a guy standing behind a tree, 'Good morning, sir.' And I got a ball with a horrible lie. I'd go like this. Nobody would know the difference. I can't because, he said, they're all looking down at me horrible. It's a horrible situation to be in," Trump said of his security during his games.
