"“Trump doesn’t just cheat at golf,” Reilly notes. “He cheats like a
three-card Monte dealer. He throws it, boots it, and moves it. He lies
about his lies. He fudges and foozles and fluffs.”
Reilly recounts a time when Trump was declared the senior club champion
at Trump National Bedminster, in New Jersey, even though he was in
Pennsylvania on the day that the event was played. “He’d declared that
the club should start having senior club championships for those 50 and
up, but he forgot that one of the best players at the club had just
turned 50,” Reilly writes. “Having zero chance of beating the guy, he
went up to his Trump Philadelphia course on the day of the tournament
and played with a friend there. Afterward, according to a source inside
the Bedminster club, he called the Bedminster pro shop and announced
he’d shot 73 and should be declared the winner. The pro, wanting to stay
employed, agreed. His name went up on the plaque.”
This turned out to be a double con. When someone from the Bedminster
club called up Trump’s caddy at the course in Philadelphia and asked
what he’d shot there, the caddy replied, “Maybe 82. And that might be
generous.”
Evidently, Trump pulls this kind of stuff on a regular basis."
