An NYPD detective allegedly showed up at the Ryder Cup golf tournament in full gear and claimed he was working with event security — while out on sick leave, The Post has learned.

Detective Melvin Eng, who is facing administrative charges for theft of services, might have even gotten away with the golf course ruse — had he not been spotted and grilled by state troopers who were the real security force, cops said.

“During questioning, Detective Eng provided conflicting information about the reasons he was at the golf course,” state police spokesman Beau Duffy said in a release.

Assassination attempt.

How do we know that?

Or he wanted to get in to watch the Ryder Cup for free.

President Trump wasn’t there there that day, but an insane nypd cop wouldn’t know that. No Secret Service that day either. Local cops did good.

[old school]

Either way, he’s a dumbass!

I wouldn’t want him working in my town!

Oops...I forgot that DJT had attended.

Is there no physical fitness test for the NYPD?

Whoa. I see doormen in better shape!

Some people sure do love their golf. It brought this to mind for me:

---

A man had two of the best tickets for the Masters golf tournament. As he sits down, another man comes along and asks if anyone is sitting in the seat next to him. "No", he says, "the seat is empty.

"This is incredible!" said the man, "I can't believe this seat isn't occupied. Who in their right mind would have a seat like this, the biggest golfing event of the whole world, and not use it?"

He says, "Well, actually, the seat belongs to me. My wife always would come with me, but she just passed away. This is the first Masters we haven't been to together since we got married."

"Oh... I'm sorry to hear that. That's terrible. Seems a shame to let it go to waste. I guess you couldn't find someone else? A relative, a friend, or even a neighbor to take the seat?"

The man shakes his head slowly from side to side, his eyes on the green.

"No. They're all at her funeral today.

Of course the police have a physical fitness standard. They have to complete the grueling “Squad Car to Dunkin’ Donuts Counter Run” and the “Two Dozen Dunkin’ Donut Box Lift”.

At least that is what ChatGPT says.

I hope the FBI or SS are thoroughly investigating this guy.

The NYPD needs a Pete Hegseth update.

He’s just another one of tens of millions of American men who are spectators not participants. I’d rather take an ass-whipping than watch other men do sports or games (and whatever golf is). lol

Or he wanted to get in to watch the Ryder Cup for free.

Exactly. I bet things like this happen a fair amount.

I’m with you there.
