Trump handicap

First Up

The Donald is reported to have a handicap of 2.8. I wonder who signs his cards? He has the swing of a 20. A few gimmies and leather wedges involved I'd say.

US handicaps are notoriously unreliable but his must be the ultimate joke. If he gets to be off 2.8 as a businessman, he'll be a +5 before he leaves the White House.

Haven't seen his swing but that's great going for a 70 year old!

You will be even more impressed when you see his swing

Found this online, 2.8 sounds very dodgy to me but if I'm swinging like him at 70 I'd be happy enough.

Probably closer to the truth

he's obviously trying to keep up with the other government leaders that he admires so much.

Such as the late Kim Jong il who played off a handicap of +54, earned by playing only one round of golf and having a hole in one on every single hole.

He has great club head speed for his age and he extends to clear his body which looks strange, at impact he's in a good position, 2.8 might be pushing it, but he's certainly no hacker.

Not a bad swing at all, decent club head speed and I'd say if he gets it out low with some good run on the ball, he could easily be a single figure handicapper. Especially if he has a good short game

Senna

Haha that guy gets 3.5ft gimmes and he scores a 73, that's the USGA handicap system for you.

Wow 2.8, that's impressive, I think I like him even more now that he's a serious golfer!.

In fairness I think he only had albatrosses on the par 5's.

He takes mulligans and gives himself 4 footers, he is no 2.8. Golf writer commenting in one of the videos says he would be about a legitimate 10

Mulligans and gimmies are standard in US casual golf - and almost all club golf is casual. I doubt Trump has played a competitive (what we would call qualifying) round in years.
