Lindsey Graham hit the golf course to play with Donald Trump on Monday and let the president’s score slip after the round.
The Republican senator from South Carolina joined the president for a round of golf at Trump National Golf Club in Northern Virginia, and despite some less-than-ideal weather, Trump posted a very solid score.
" Really enjoyed a round of golf with President @realDonaldTrump today. " "President Trump shot a 73 in windy and wet conditions! "

“Really enjoyed a round of golf with president @realDonaldTrump today,” Graham wrote on Twitter. “President Trump shot a 73 in windy and wet conditions.”
" How bad did he beat me? I did better in the presidential race than today on the golf course!" " Great fun. Great host. "

“How bad did he beat me? I did better in the presidential race than today on the golf course,” he said in another tweet. “Great fun. Great host,” Graham added.
Par for Trump National is a score of 72, which puts Trump at just one over par on the round. That’s comparable to the scores posted by the top players on the Senior PGA Tour at the Senior PGA Championship at Trump National just last year.
" That course is a par-72. The Senior PGA was held there this year. Look at the scores of the world’s top seniors https://t.co/BLQPH4K7rx pic.twitter.com/JTQSgZGaHr "

The president and Sen. Graham almost definitely played the course from a different tee box than the senior pros, but a 73 is incredibly impressive for the 71-year-old president.
This is the kind of phony B.S. Clinton and Obama spew about their golf games, and it’s unseemly.

And what a lot of guys claim about their :
Golf scores, size of fish caught, how great they were in high school, how many girls they fucked, and how big their dick is. And its also why male dogs lift their leg to pee. Hahahahahah.
Kim recently bowled a perfect 300 game
using a golf ball.
And it was one of those plastic wiffle balls.
That’s kind of the way the good players would swing in the Bobby Jones era, drag it inside and then come down on plane. That’s not the way most pros swing it today, but it’s a very good swing.
Guess you haven’t played much golf. I’m a 70 year old male with an awkward swing whose only exercise is hitting practice balls and playing golf with a cart. I smoke more than a pack of cigarettes a day but, like Trump, do not drink alcohol. I play every Saturday with a group of guys ranging in age from mid 30’s to mid 70’s. We play at different courses and use combination tees keeping the average course length to around 6,100 yards. We play by USGA rules which means no mulligans, no gimmes. I shot a 76 this past April on one of our regular courses—a public track with shaggy fairways, hit or miss sand, and inconsistent greens (a third will roll slow, a third with have slow and fast sections, and a third will be 15 on the old meter).
Now if I had the time, the transportation toys, and my own club that I’ve probably played a thousand times, I would expect to shoot an occasional 68 or 69. My current USGA index is 11.4 and Trump’s is around 2.8?
Trump is the best player in the Executive branch since Dan Quayle. A friend of mine who played with Quayle when he was VP said that Quayle had a USGA 6 but played like a 1 or 2.
