Re: Trump challenges Biden to Golf match. lol
GHIN users are required to post their results on the day a round is played so that the system will always be ready with an up-to-date index based on a golfer’s twenty most recent scores. Here, though, is what the GHIN system had to work with to crank out that 2.5 for Trump: one score from 2021; one from 2016; two from 2015; seven from 2014; four from 2013; one from 2012; and four from 2011. That’s a decade-long stretch during which Donald Trump played literally hundreds of rounds of golf . . . and posted just twenty of them. (And that ignores the scoring lacuna between 2021 and 2024.)
In other words, Trump ignored the system’s requirements and reported just the scores needed to produce the desired ego-inflating low-single-digit handicap, including made-up scores like that 70—especially made-up scores like that 70. And despite the many games he has played in the last four years, he has posted only one additional score to GHIN since 2020, and it was sufficient to drop his official USGA handicap index from 2.8 to 2.5.

So, did you ever think he was too busy to golf any more than a couple holes at a time?Donn Beach wrote: ↑Sun Jul 14, 2024 8:39 pmGHIN users are required to post their results on the day a round is played so that the system will always be ready with an up-to-date index based on a golfer’s twenty most recent scores.

I too was a member of GHIN when I golfed. And I can tell you that if my score was too good, I wouldn't' post it because it was make my handicap go down, then hurting me in tournament play.
So if you are saying that Trump is actually a 'scratch' or "better than scratch" golfer, I guess you are right...... but there isn't a golfer that I know who would post a better than usual round.
Dope.

Re: Trump challenges Biden to Golf match. lol
Okay, Biden was called out for exaggerating his handicap and I pointed out Trump does it as well. Trump obviously golfs more than a couple times a year
Trump visited a Trump Organization property on 428 (nearly one in three) of the 1,461 days of his presidency and is estimated to have played 261 rounds of golf, one every 5.6 days.

I don't golf, but if I did, I'd think I would only count my serious rounds.Donn Beach wrote: ↑Mon Jul 15, 2024 3:21 amOkay, Biden was called out for exaggerating his handicap and I pointed out Trump does it as well. Trump obviously golfs more than a couple times a year

Just like a pitcher isnt going to worry about their bullpens, and Ozzie Smith wasn't judged by his fielding percentage in practice.
Tiger Woods wasn't judged by his practice rounds, etc., etc..

They aren't practice rounds, I just responded to that. If you want to talk about exaggerating your handicap Trump is right up there. It's no big deal to me.

Seems like golf is 99% practice rounds.
