There's a reason why Trump did this, because (1) its drives leftists crazy (2) if hadn't he listed all the eyewitnesses and put it in writing, the MSM would claim he was LYING (3) Trump is very proud of his Golf game.

Most people - especially athletic type men - find this sort of harmless bragging charming. but libtards and many nerdy wimps don't. Anyway, Trump is a PRIVATE CITIZEN, so the whole "why is he issuing a statement about his Golf game, there are more important things" doesn't fly either.

Ampersand म्हणाले...

Hyperbolic, egocentric, inconstant, and only dimly aware of his affect, there's only one Trump. He's also better than most of his political opponents.
Sad.

Lurker21 म्हणाले...

You have to see the comedy in the last lines. I don't think Trump haters will.

It was to Trump's benefit that one could think that he was going to his golf courses because he needed a quiet place to work outside the White House and the DC shit show. Being too good at golf and talking about it too much takes away that comforting thought.

Kim Jung-Il hit 11 holes in one in one round. Beat that!

Dear corrupt left, go F yourselves म्हणाले...

Impeach!

Old and slow म्हणाले...

Read the comments on twitter. It's amazing that none of them see the self deprecating humor in Trump describing himself as humble. There is widespread disbelief that it actually happened.
Everyone's reactions are entirely po-faced. It is very strange.

Dave Begley म्हणाले...

"I don't like people who brag!"

Good zinger, President Trump; our once and future President.

Iman म्हणाले...

The usual lefty media outraged whiney reaction to this will set Trump’s putter aflutter.

mikee म्हणाले...

In other post-presidential accomplishments, Teddy Roosevelt had perhaps the very last reputable, documented and confirmed sighting of passenger pigeons in the wild, as they went extinct.


Joe Smith म्हणाले...

Why is it unusual that Trump, an avid golfer and owner of some very nice courses, would be playing golf with professionals?

I'm not sure I see why this is a story.

It's Trump being Trump.

People need to get over it.

Btw, I also had a hole-in-one. Also a 5-iron.

Skeptical Voter म्हणाले...

Hey did Earnie Els have to give 10% of the Nassau to the Big Guy?

Wince म्हणाले...

Here's Biden hitting a golf ball, aptly in the direction opposite his aim.

Listen to the voices in the background, "Did he hit it? ...It went behind him."

(Notice Biden is being guarded by what looks like one of those "insurrectionists" at Jan 6.)

Wayne Wilson म्हणाले...

Just in , China joe says he has made numerous holes in one. Just ask cornpop.

gilbar म्हणाले...

there used to be a commenter here. An out of work, down at the heels former "lawyer", that used to frequently say how He Wished that he could play golf against Donald Trump..
For A MILLION DOLLARS!
(implying that he would win (well, not Implying; Explicitly Stating, that he would win)
Numerous people here pointed out, that the commenter did not have ANYTHING like the money needed to make such a wager; to which the commenter said that he 'wouldn't Need Money, because he was "SURE TO WIN"'
Personally, i just thought it was sad, how demon gin can sap ones brains. It now looks,like Even if the commenter could have somehow come up with the backing for his wager, that he'd Still be out of luck. Sometimes, i wonder what gutter that commenter is laying in.. But mostly, i don't give him a second of thought

Eleanor म्हणाले...

Can Biden find his way around a golf course? Play the holes in the right order without Jill at his side? How about drive a golf cart? It would be an interesting cognitive test for Trump to challenge Biden to a round of golf.

Mike Sylwester म्हणाले...

My mother-in-law -- who was a klutz and just an occasional golfer -- hit a hole-in-one.

Tank म्हणाले...

Trump is fun!

Biden is …….

Bryant म्हणाले...

Some commenters seem to be dimly aware of their effect.

Trump is the master of trolling and loves to brag about not bragging.

BUMBLE BEE म्हणाले...

Little jab from Mr T. PSYOPS?

Limited blogger म्हणाले...

Playing in a fivesome is not always allowed.

I guess they gave POTUS' group a special dispensation.

Leland म्हणाले...

OMG! A celebrity, nay a politician!, posted about something they did. It is unprecedented behavior!

Quick Congress, form a commission to get all the phone call records of Ernie Els, Gene Sauers, Ken Duke, and Mike Goodes. If they don't come up with those records, subpoena all their communications with their attorneys. Oh yeah, get bank records too. We need to know who funded this golf tournament.

Humperdink म्हणाले...

The left will counter that with their life-long hero: "“Chairman Mao swam 15 kilometres in 1 hour and 5 minutes.” So we can calculate that Mao Zedong, who was then already in his seventies, swam at a speed of 3.842 metres per second." (July 1966)

It should be noted that at the time, Chairman Mao still identified as a male.

FullMoon म्हणाले...

Calls for special congressional committee formation, subpoenas, videos, potential no bail incarceration of all golf club employees and their friends and families.

Not to mention, Biden has had numerous hole in ones, But Irish in him prevents him from bragging about it.

wendybar म्हणाले...

And Joe Biden is claiming that printing more money is reducing the deficit that TRUMP left because of the emergency millions that went out because of the China Virus. I would rather read TRUMPS truthful messages, than the delusional ones lies.

readering म्हणाले...

Congrats. Don't stop.

rhhardin म्हणाले...

It's not Trump's first hole-in-one. He had witnesses for the other one too.

rhhardin म्हणाले...

If you're good at golf, you get more holes-in-one that casual players, just because you're more often in the right area for it to randomly drop in.

Ron Winkleheimer म्हणाले...

An avid golfer bragging about hitting a hole-in-one!? It's unprecedented! Unpossible even!

Curious George म्हणाले...

I have a hole in one, 17th hole at Yahara Hills West in Madison on October 14, 2001. I don't have a Presidential proclamation, but I do have a trophy. I had the trophy made.

Best "The Simpsons" pun ever:

While playing golf with Mr. Burns, Homer finds himself in a sand trap and wondering what club to use to get out.

Burns tells him: "Simpson, you need a sand wedge, an open-face club."

Homer, dreamily: "Mmmmmm, an open-faced club sandwich."

Freeman Hunt म्हणाले...

He's funny. They have to give him that, but they never do.

MB म्हणाले...

I know Biden swims. Does he do any sport that includes other people?

heyboom म्हणाले...

The actual reason he did it is because the usual Twitter idiots were claiming that he was lying about it.

Hair sniffing.

Daniel12 म्हणाले...

If I got a hole in one I'd issue a press release. This is a bipartisan issue.

Lexington Green म्हणाले...

Trump has fun and enjoys life.

His enemies simmer in seething anger all day because they are morally and mentally ill.

Trumps fans enjoy these things, and his enemies explode with volcanic rage and hate.

Who is having a better time?

Great to see this.

Charlie म्हणाले...

Say what you want about the guy but he's fun and entertaining.......and I say that as someone who used to loathe him in The Apprentice days.

boatbuilder म्हणाले...

If I ever make a hole in one, everyone is going to hear about it.

BUMBLE BEE म्हणाले...

Biden used to have female Secret Service at his swims, does that count Mary Beth?

Ron Winkleheimer म्हणाले...

My wife and I were saying the exact same thing after I informed her of Trump's unprecedented bragging about making a hole in one. As we all know, real golfers swear any witnesses to secrecy and never mention the event. Ever.

Teddy Roosevelt had perhaps the very last reputable, documented and confirmed sighting of passenger pigeons in the wild, as they went extinct.

The book that I happen to be reading now is David McCullough's book Mornings on Horseback: The Story of an Extraordinary Family, a Vanished Way of Life and the Unique Child Who Became Theodore Roosevelt. This book is terrific! One of the best books I ever read!!

From this book, I have learned that Teddy Roosevelt was a real expert about birds. Even before he was a teenager, he learned taxidermy so that he could stuff and display many of the birds that he shot. He carefully labeled each such bird with its scientific name.

He was something like eleven years old when he began doing this. He made a bird museum in his home's attic.

So, if Teddy Roosevelt later said that he saw one of the last passenger pigeons in the wild, then that claim is very reliable.

traditionalguy म्हणाले...

Great golf shot. But wait until after 3:00 AM when his scorecard is rigged by bought
Off Scorers and he will receive a triple bogie on the hole.

Ignorance is Bliss म्हणाले...

I used to be an avid golfer, and have made more holes-in-one than I can count.

(I still have trouble with that stupid windmill)

Anthony म्हणाले...

If this had been Obama, I would have heard about it a hundred times before coming here and the media would be gushing about how awesome their boyfriend is.

Gabriel म्हणाले...

I've had a hole in one. I did not intend it. It happens from time to time, and if you are a very good player it may happen more than once.

Sad.


This person is out of touch with the real people of America. Trump understands and connects with real people.

This is exactly how the common guy reacts. Everyone that knows him, will congratulate him and celebrate his hole in one, along side him. Connecting. Little things like this is how connections form.

Gunner म्हणाले...

Lefties couldn't shut up about candidate Biden riding a bike correctly a few years ago.

Chuck म्हणाले...

Ernie Els’ 19 year-old son Ben is autistic. The Ernie Els Foundation is involved in some major autism research fundraising, and a large number of Els Foundation fundraising golf events are held at Trump golf courses.

It is interesting, how the Els-Trump friendship and fundraising partnership has grown in, say, the last 15 years.

AMDG म्हणाले...

The claim that he is a “very modest person” shows that Trump is capable of expressing a thought with a twinkle in his eye. This was almost endearing.

Drago म्हणाले...

Heyboom: "The actual reason he did it is because the usual Twitter idiots were claiming that he was lying about it."

Althouse blog has long been burdened by the presence of just that type of idiot who would routinely claim Trump was not a decent golfer.

Jim at म्हणाले...

One of my favorite things about Trump is his ability to drive all the 'right' people batshit insane over the most trivial things.

It's pure gold.

Mid-Life Lawyer म्हणाले...

That's a hilarious statement. I read some of the comments on the Twitter post. The most consistent and obvious symptom of chronic TDS is the lack of a sense of humor. Another prevalent symptom is the inability to create a snappy insult. I can appreciate wit even if I am opposed to the sentiment expressed, but I never see it in the TDS impaired.

Yancey Ward म्हणाले...

When I was playing golf, I hit of shots onto par threes that ended up inside of 2 inches of the cup. Of course, I hit more shots that ended up outside of 100 feet.

Drago म्हणाले...

I see our pro-Lincoln Pedophile Project, Whitmer-Reelection supporting and Banned Commenter LLR Chuck has returned to vomit up another attack on Trump and Melania's child....which makes sense given Chuck's support for democraticals across the board who are angry about anti-child sexual grooming laws.

Amazing the amount of energy our banned commenter LLR Chuck, and others like him...if you know what I mean...expend on their children....fixation...

Yancey Ward म्हणाले...

"Big deal," say progressives, "Biden wiped his own ass this morning!"

Drago म्हणाले...

Jim at: "One of my favorite things about Trump is his ability to drive all the 'right' people batshit insane over the most trivial things."

Case in point is our very own LLR Chuck who spent quite a bit of time early in the Trump admin trying to convince everyone Melania was previously a prostitute and that she did not actually live with The Donald.

Of course, Chuck's deep (and dark) obsession with a young Barron Trump is also a matter of public record...that is, when Chuck wasnt working overtime to (and I quote): "Drive a wedge between Althouse and her readers." A most fascinating and revealing admission.

Drago म्हणाले...

To be perfectly honest, I would have thought Barron's physical development and current age would have caused LLR Chuck to "lose interest" in him...again, if you know what I mean....

Skeptical Voter म्हणाले...

Heck my late mother in law had a hole in one on a par three hitting from the ladie's tees at the San Diego Country Club. And she didn't have to buy a round of drinks to celebrate.

An avid golfer with good athletic skills will occasionally make a hole in one--as for me, my chances of a hole in one are roughly akin to finding a unicorn for a partner.

Dave म्हणाले...

A lot of people are looking for unicorn partners these days and it seems pretty common to run across one.

I only learned this since I started dating again.

Sorry.

True, although it did take the help of two staffers to turn the pages of the Constitution between wipes...

Hypertensive, leggomyeggo, incontinent, and only dimly aware of his surroundings, that’s Joe Biden.

Jaq म्हणाले...

181 yards with a 5 iron is the impressive part, given his age. Going in the hole is a matter of luck.

Ceciliahere म्हणाले...

Yes, keep your eye on the ball, and follow through.

Bravo, President Trump!!!

I wonder how Slow Joe is doing with the competitive Bingo tournament?

Maybe so, but I bet it was a case of "three wipes over par".

pious agnostic म्हणाले...

After my father-in-law retired, he decided to take up golf. Went with a buddy, rented clubs, played his first 18-holes.

And got a hole-in-one!

Now, he's actually a pretty humble guy, but he was happy about that. And loves to tell that story.

And the uncounted triple-bogies that have followed.

Chris Lopes म्हणाले...

"It's not Trump's first hole-in-one."

Enough about Stormy Daniels.
