During a recent rally in Rome, GA, Brian Jack, a former White House aide who has announced his candidacy for Congress, made an audacious claim about former President Donald Trump’s golfing prowess. According to Jack, just a few weeks ago, Trump purportedly surpassed the skills of two professional golfers by shooting an impressive 70 on 18 holes.
However, Jack didn’t disclose the specific golf course where this remarkable feat occurred. If we assume it was Trump’s own Bedminster, NJ layout, known for its difficulty, the claimed 70 might be seen as a decent round. Trump had previously boasted of shooting a 67 on the same course in August, a score that would have outperformed nearly all professional golfers in a recent tournament held there.
The lack of specific details provided by Jack raises questions about the credibility of Trump’s golfing accomplishment. Jack did not mention whether Trump took any mulligans or played under the same conditions as the professional golfers he allegedly surpassed. If Trump received significant advantages, such as playing from different tees or taking mulligans, the claim of putting professional golfers to shame may lose some of its luster.
“I’m not sure if I should say this,” said Jack. “But just a few weeks ago, President Trump put to shame two professional golfers. I ain’t gonna mention their names, but just know he shot a 70 on 18 holes.”
