Footage from Scotland shows caddie tossing ball into fescue for Trump
As Trump tries to escape the political heat surrounding the Epstein files scandal, a new controversy is unfolding on the fairway. Trump is spending the weekend at his Scotland golf resort, but viral footage has surfaced showing what many believe is a blatant act of cheating.
In the clip, one of Trump’s caddies walks ahead of his golf cart and appears to discreetly toss a ball into the fescue — the long grass typically framing the rough — as Trump looks on. Trump then exits the cart and approaches it as if it were his original shot.

Although I've never been a constant golfer I have golfed roughly a hundred times in my life. Whether or not Trump was cheating here depends on a couple things. If he was playing an opponent for money or was attempting to win some sort of prize for best score it is definitely cheating to drop a ball wherever you want to. I am assuming his real shot was in the sand.
And if you want to know your honest true score, betting or not, he was cheating.
But if you are just out for exercise and to enjoy a nice day on a pretty golf course, it is not uncommon to see someone drop a ball in a better lie.
Of course Trump regularly claims to have won club championships. His cheating would call the validity of all that into question.
And why does he need two caddies when his clubs are attached to the back of his golf cart? Maybe he has the Secret Service cheating for him.
“Whether or not Trump was cheating here depends on a couple things…”
Nah…it’s a character flaw. As an avid golfer, the game is sullied by those that feel compelled to cheat. Anyone who has ever enjoyed the sport understands how despicable it is. It tracks with every.single.thing. he says or does.
Rather pathetic.
It can be a character thing, but some golfers who arent very good get tired of taking 7's or 8's on a hole and put a limit on how many strokes they want written down. The better the golfers the less cheating is acceptable.
The Sports Illustrated writer Rick Reilly wrote a whole book based on Trumps cheating at golf.

“One who is faithful in a very little is also faithful in much, and one who is dishonest in a very little is also dishonest in much." - Luke 16:10
If he cheats at golf what else might he be cheating on, with or about? The most powerful office, perhaps on the planet, is held by the smallest most self-absorbed dishonest liar on the planet, and it's all thanks to those who love liars and cheats and convicted criminals. They think they know better, so they have forced us all to endure this humiliation. That's what this is all about, the rightwing's overwhelming frothing-at-the-mouth desire to humiliate their fellow Americans on the left for which they are willing to sell out our nation to a debased convicted criminal and admitted sexual predator.
So, we can’t shine a light on his MANY examples of shitty character unless it’s the worst thing ever?
I get it, this kind of thing makes his supporters uncomfortable. It’s another in a long line of daily reminders that you voted for the most morally bankrupt president in the history of our country. I’d be embarrassed, too.
It was sarcasm, i guess i have to put the (s) for some.......sigh.
My main point is how worthless and insignificant does your life have to be to spend hours mindlessly fixated on trump to find this? how many hours and hours of video does this person pathetic and empty life have to waste on this?

When a very respected sports reporter feels drawn to write an entire book about Trump cheating at golf, it is not "nothing". Golf scoring is an honor system unless you are in the PGA where they have an official monitoring everyones score. At Trumps level the other players trust what you say your score is, mainly because you cant watch the other players every shot when you have to follow your own to pay attention to. Cheating once in a while in a "fun" match is not a big deal in my opinion. Trumps cheating at golf, including winning tournaments where he was the only contestant, is a different story.
Classic MAGA misdirection. The “only joking” gambit.
Also Classic! Trump - President Trump - behaves like a POS…AGAIN! And the rest of us are the assholes for recognizing and pointing it out.
He cheats all the time. Why wouldn't he cheat in Scotland?
By the way, on nice golf courses you are not supposed to drive the cart on the grass. They have cart paths.
Nothing burger. You can do better.
Not an everything burger, to be sure. But also, not nothing. If you support him, I imagine you have to pretend he doesn’t do this shit, just so you can look in the mirror or sleep at night. The rest of us have no cause to be so ashamed, and we will go right on talking about it. Maybe next time, don’t vote for the worst possible human being running for the office.
Unless, of course, you have the Handicap sign on the cart (also, of course, with permission from the golf course) I "think" you are supposed to keep the cart at least 20 feet from the green or hazards.
What Trump attempted to do was use his new "foot wedge", but his caddy gave him a better relief shot.
I played in Scotland last year for a week - never a'frigg'n again. Rains, winds, cold (high tmp was 48 IN THE MIDDLE OF AUGUST)
Was scheduled to play seven courses but the weather shut down the play on all but two courses - Prestwick was absolutely beautiful.
After being over there, I can understand why some of my forefathers came 'cross the ocean - I sure as hell couldn't/wouldn't live there. Courses just ain't that great - JMHO.
I normally "attempt" to play 'bout 150 rounds a year, but, being retired, living in a state that has 'bout 350 days of sunlight with tons of courses within 75 miles - whatcha gonna do with all that spare sun.
I can see why it takes a fifth to play 18 holes over there.
On the few really "nice" golf courses I have played on, if you took the cart off the path it was likely a course worker would come up to you and tell you to get the cart off the fairway.
Yeah - that's usually when they start enforcing the 90 degree rule - which I love. Why screw up the course and fairways when you can really and truly walk 15 - 20 feet to where your ball landed?
