This time Donald Trump had one of his groupies boast about an unbelievable golf feat
This time, Donald Trump didn't have to boast when it comes to his golf game.
He had one of his groupies do that.
Wanna-be MAGA Congressional candidate Brian Jack from Georgia knows who to impress if he wants to get an endorsement. Jack, the White House political director when Trump was president, recently attended a rally in Rome, Georgia, and praised Trump's golf game in the Trumpiest way, according to Mediaite.com.
"I’m not sure if I should say this," Jack said. "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."
No names. No course. No specifics, of course.
For all we know, this could have been at Palm Beach Par-3 with Matt Gaetz wiping Trump's clubs after each shot, and Marjorie Taylor Greene cleaning his golf shoes.
But this time all Trump had to do was sit back and listen.
After all, this is a man who last year magically captured the two-day Senior Club Championship at his course in West Palm Beach, without playing the first day. The same man who boasted about shooting a 67 at his course in Bedminster, New Jersey, which would have beaten all but six of the 144 rounds on that same course weeks earlier in a LIV Golf event.
Trump called it a "great honor" to have won "on one of the best courses in the Country, in Palm Beach County," on a post on Truth Social.
“Competed against many fine golfers and was hitting the ball long and straight," he wrote. "The reason that I announce this on fabulous TRUTH is that, in a very real way, it serves as a physical exam, only MUCH tougher. You need strength and stamina to WIN, & I have strength & stamina – most others don’t. You also need strength & stamina to GOVERN!”
Trump shoots 'low 70s' at Winged Foot Golf Course
And do not forget Trump bragging he shoots in the "low 70s quite a bit" at Winged Foot Golf Course. The Mamaroneck, New York, track was the site of the 2020 U.S. Open and just seven golfers shot 71 or lower in the final round, one under 70. Winner Bryson DeChambeau was the only golfer under-par for the four days.
"For some reason, I am just a good golfer/athlete - I have won many Club Championships, and it is always a great honor!" Trump wrote last year while claiming his 67 and Senior Club Championship at Bedminster.

In that post, Trump felt the need to point out he did not cheat.
“Now, some people will think that sounds low, but there is no hanky/lanky. Many people watch, plus I am surrounded by Secret Service Agents. Not much you can do even if you wanted to, and I don’t."
