Donald Trump added another chapter to his history of, shall we say, 'creative scoring' when he claimed to win a club championship in January without playing in the first round.
Ted Virtue, founder and CEO of MidOcean Partners, a New York-based alternative asset management firm, won the club championship at West Palm Beach when Trump was president. At the time, Trump was in Singapore and missed the event.Trump sees Virtue on the back nine of the course one day and tells him he didn’t really win the club championship,"because I was out of town.” So he tells Virtue they will start there and play to see who the real champion is. Virtue has no choice.
On a par-3 that was playing more than 200 yards, no one hit the green, including Trump, whose tee shot clearly was short. "I've won 18 Club Championships including this weekend. @mcuban swings like a little girl with no power or talent. Mark's a loser." "But it’s usually just him and Melania in the cart and nobody else," Reilly said."He just makes it up."Soon after he became president, Trump set up a foursome with Brad Faxon, Tiger Woods and Dustin Johnson. Trump and Faxon were partners.
"He can really strike the ball," Els said."He makes good contact. He's got a good swing. Like any amateur, you got to do the short game practice. I keep talking to him about his chipping. He's a pretty good putter. Back in his day, he had to be a 4- or 5-handicap. Today, he's probably a 10, 12."Trump has played with the best of the best. Jack Nicklaus, Els, Woods, Johnson, Rory McIlroy, Bryson DeChambeau and Brooks Koepka among them.
