If Trump is really a 10 handicap but he's saying he's a 2.8 isn't he actually hurting his ability to win? Expand In everyone's reality yes, but in Trump's reality bragging about his 2.8 handicap is worth much more than playing (especially when you cheat in the actual game) Edited April 2, 2019 by GG

So if he's lowering his handicap he's actually making it harder to win? I get the whole Trump ego thing to say he's a 2.8 handicap.

Expand If you want to use your handicap to win in a competitive round of golf, you don't use a low score. You inflate your score to get more strokes taken off your score at the end of the round. The few minutes I could stomach, the guy seemed to be arguing that Trump's cheating comes from posting his scores. If you're decent at golf and want to be rated, then every time you finish a round, there's a computer in the clubhouse where you can log in and enter your round for the day. If you only post your cherry-picked scores, you increase your handicap. I think that's what he's whining about. Interestingly, he says "Clinton cheated" because he would screw up a shot, but then drop a few balls to try the shot again. Unless you're in a tournament, that's not cheating because, as the guy said, Clinton always played his first shot. In other words, he didn't play the extra shots. He was just working out a kink in his swing. That's not, however, what Clinton and Obama were known for. They are both known for screwing up a shot, and then hitting extra shots until he got the one he wanted and then playing the better ball. THAT is cheating.
