Oscar De La Hoya Says Donald Trump Cheated at Golf
New York Times ^ | 5/4/16

Posted on 05/05/2016 9:07:51 AM PDT by SoFloFreeper

Of all the things Donald Trump has been called on the campaign trail, this one might sting the most: golf cheat.

Oscar De La Hoya says that’s what he saw on the links when Trump joined up with his group at Trump National Golf Club in Los Angeles two years ago. Trump, he said, cheated not once but twice in the space of two holes.

“Yes, I caught him,” De La Hoya said. “It was unbelievable.

Trump has been controversial his entire life.

Do you know that when he was a kid he sometimes smeared his oatmeal all over the highchair tray.

Back when Bob Hope was still barely able to play in his “Desert Classic” tournament, the network TV cameras found him in his golf cart on the fairway where he was about to address his ball. He got out of the cart, grabbed a fairway wood and proceeded to tee the ball up (in the fairway), swing and hit it towards the green. As he made his way back into the cart he winked right at the camera. However, nobody ever accused him of cheating. Good ol’ Bob!

If it was my course and I made an ace, I’d give myself a zero for the hole.

My buddies and I called ours “Arctic Tundra Rules.” Which means that for a long iron you could kick your ball a few feet to find something green from which to take your shot.

Once around the green the rules tightened up a little.

James Bond: [discovers Goldfinger cheating at golf] You play a Slazenger 1, don’t you?

Auric Goldfinger: Yes, why?

James Bond: This is a Slazenger 7.

James Bond: Here’s my Penfold Hearts. You must have played the wrong ball somewhere on the 18th fairway. We are playing strict rules, so I’m afraid you lose the hole and the match.

And in other news: Donald Trump was born snow white, but he drifted. These liberal whack jobs are looking for someone who’s pristine. Ain’t gonna happin’ - and if they were, they’d lie about his/her past anyway. Can’t win for losing.

And today’s “No S#!+ Sherlock News” item ... Donald Trump really hates to lose. Somehow, now that the Captain has been selected, the dust has settled, and all the other contenders (including my preference) lay gutted on the foredeck, I’m curiously at peace with that.

When you own the golf course, you get to make the rules!

It’s a recycled story. Been around a while.

I’d always heard that B.J. Clinton was the mulligan king.

I like the name of that rule. In all honesty, we’d have rules for every season for finding a better lie. Like you, however, these rules were not allowed around the greens. Some guys would always take more than they needed, but we played, mostly, for fun. When cash was involved, play it where it lies was pretty much written in stone.

Exactly the same technique used with the men and women with whom I occasionally play.
If we can't swing the club because a tree or branch is in the way, we move the ball a foot or two.
These people are insane with their wild-eyed hatred of Donald Trump.

Hillary Clinton, meanwhile, does nothing to help innocent Americans stranded in Benghazi where four them DIE in a preventable terrorist tragedy...and they have zero to say about that topic.

Oh, the horror! Especially when considered in opposition to the human slaughter of Benghazi!

Based on my admittedly very personal bias, I’d be more likely to hold the fact that Trump plays golf at all against him.
