That note we’re talking about would be Donald’s first campaign advert – start HERE, you really ought to see it.
Now the presidential hopeful happens to own the odd golf course, including the well-known Trump National Golf Club. One of those who has teed up against him is Samuel L. Jackson, although his memories of playing with the big man aren’t all that fond.
Here’s what the actor had to say during a recent interview covered on Page Six:
“I would never say buddies,” Jackson said. “Or friends. I’ve golfed with him.
“But it’s funny — last week or so, I actually got a bill from Trump National Golf Club,” he added. “And I haven’t been there in four or five years, so I had my assistant call. They said it was for membership dues. And I said, ‘I’m not a member,’ and they said, ‘Yeah, you are — you have a member number.’ Apparently he’d made me a member of one of his golf clubs, and I didn’t even know it!”
Asked who the better golfer was, Jackson said with a smile, “Oh, I am, for sure. I don’t cheat.”
But that’s just one offhand remark, don’t read too much into it you say. Well the Washington Post say Samuel ain’t exactly alone:
“The worst celebrity golf cheat?” the rock star Alice Cooper said…“I wish I could tell you that. It would be a shocker. I played with Donald Trump one time…
“Golf is like bicycle shorts: It can reveal a lot about a guy,” said Rick Reilly, the sportswriter who hit the links with Trump for his 2004 book “Who’s Your Caddy?” — in which Reilly lugged clubs for several of the world’s best golfers and VIP amateurs.
As for Trump? “When it comes to cheating, he’s an 11 on a scale of one to 10,” Reilly said.
Reilly told The Washington Post about an afternoon when Trump wrote down scores he didn’t actually achieve on his scorecard, conceded putts to himself by raking the ball into the hole with his putter rather than striking it properly (“He rakes like my gardener!”), and even called a gimme — something a player might claim for a two-foot putt — on what should have been a chip shot.
I suppose when you own the course you get to bend the rules just a little. Does the same go for when you run a country?
