Donald Trump cheats playing golf
I've played a lot and I've played well. There are very few people who can beat me at golf," the tycoon said during his campaign.
The president of the United States always brags about his ability in this sport, assuring that he is quite a talent. “I have played a lot and I have played well. There are very few people who can beat me at golf," he said during his campaign.
What he did not know until now is that the tycoon has a terrible reputation as a cheater within the field. Mark Mulvoy, former editor of Sports Illustrated magazine, recounted his experience playing the president in a report published by the Washington Post. “One morning in the mid-1990s, Mark Mulvoy was on the sixth hole at Long Island's Garden City Golf Club with Donald Trump when the skies opened up and they had to cover up from the rain, Mulvoy, then director of Sports Illustrated , returned to the green.
When he got there, he found a ball 10 feet from the pin that he didn't remember seeing before the storm. -Whose ball is it? he asked. "That's me," the real estate mogul said, according to Mulvoy. -Donald, you've been looking at herbs all day. You weren't there,' he replied. Faced with this accusation, the president assured that he did not know Mulvoy and that he had never played against him, however, there are many witnesses who can corroborate it.
It is not the first time that he has been accused of cheating in this sport. Two years ago, The Angeles Times newspaper published a similar story in which boxer Óscar de la Hoya stated that "when I played with him the first ball he hit, he sent it into the lake and said he was repeating because he was warming up," said the former world champion during the interview.
"Trump hit his ball and we clearly saw it go out of bounds. We knew it, but we waited without saying anything. And when we got to the green, he was waiting for us and said: 'wow, my ball is there', three feet from the hole, "explained the sportsman laughing.
