Donald Trump wins his club’s senior golf championship – even though he was 600 miles away

Donald Trump claimed victory in the senior club championship at his West Palm Beach golf club on Sunday, even though he was 600 miles away on the first day of the tournament at Diamond’s funeral in North Carolina.

Insiders told DailyMail.com that the competitors arriving for the second day of the contest on Sunday morning were surprised (though not exactly shocked) to see their name at the top of the leaderboard with a five-point lead. about the leader of the night.

He apparently told the members that he had played a great round on Thursday and that would count as his score from the first day.

It is not the first time that he has broken the rules in one of his clubs. And other competitors just shrugged and settled in to play for second place.

However, he was able to declare victory in the tournament on Sunday night, crediting his victory to “hitting the ball long and straight” in what he said was an examination of his fitness.

That wasn’t enough to stop Trump from taking to social media to celebrate his prowess and fitness, in what will be seen as a dig at the current White House resident.

“He competed against a lot of good golfers and hit the ball long and straight,” he wrote on Truth Social.

‘The reason I’m announcing this in TRULY fabulous is that, in a very real way, it serves as a physical, only MUCH harder.

‘You need strength and stamina to WIN, and I have strength and stamina, most others don’t.

‘You also need strength and stamina to RULE!’

A Trump spokesman did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

On Saturday, as the veteran members of his club made their way through the first 18 holes of the tournament, Trump was in Fayetteville, North Carolina, at a service for one half of the fervent support duo Diamond and Silk.

Trump’s Thursday round gave him a score of 40 using the Stableford method, which awards one point for bogey, two for par, three for birdie and so on, five points better than Saturday’s best round.

The former president has form when it comes to breaking the rules in his own fields.

In his book ‘Commander in Cheat’, writer Rick Reilly once won a senior club championship at his New Jersey club 87 miles away.

He had apparently forgotten that one of the club’s best players had just reached classification age.

“Not having any chance of beating the guy, he went up to his Trump Philly field on the day of the tournament and played with a friend there,” Reilly wrote.

“Then, according to a source within the Bedminster club, he called the Bedminster pro shop and announced that he had shot 73 and should be declared the winner.”

He also described with a raised eyebrow how Trump’s use of front caddies, which are meant to march in front of the golfer to sense where the balls land, also coincided with penetration and approach shots landing in perfect position.

However, members of his clubs say that Trump is a decent golfer, who has a decent amount of power.

And no one is willing to criticize him for such antics for fear of losing access to some of the best golf courses in the country.

They often speak in terms of admiration of your generosity to members and their families.

On Saturday he said he paid for the funeral for Diamond, whose real name was Ineitha Lynnette Hardaway.

MyPillow founder Mike Lindell and Lara Trump, wife of former president Eric’s son, also attended the more than three-hour service.

“The world has lost one of its brightest stars,” Trump said. “We have lost one of our purest hearts and that’s for sure.”

Trump seemed a bit taken aback by the scale of the monument.

“I have a lot of people waiting for me in a place called Palm Beach, Florida,” he said at one point, reflecting on the length of the service.
