Ah, Donald Trump at play (warning: dirty words):
For the 209th time since January 20, 2017, Trump went to one of his golf courses. The above-depicted outing was the 145th such visit with actual evidence that he golfed. Hmmm… 145 outings, 18 holes, par 4 each… that’s over 10,000 golf swings.
I’ve heard that shooting 10,000 free throws should make you better at free throws. I’d think that swinging a golf club at a ball 10,000 times (and taking three warm-up swings before each contact swing) would produce some improvement for the typical golfer.
But Trump is no typical golfer. His form, his swing, and his reaction show that, as in everything else in his life, he has shown no interest in learning and improving himself. Why would he bother looking for flaws and trying to improve his stance and grip and swing when he knows he’s already perfect?
In his golfing as in his presidenting, Trump has failed to learn and get better. When his shots go in the water, he curses the ball and blames external forces. I hate this hole—really? What is there to hate? What did that hole ever do to you?
Last spring I went to the Black Hills and ran Black Elk Peak from the north, from Willow Creek Horse Camp. I slipped on the rocks, scuffed my ankles, tore my shoes, and had to stop and walk numerous times. When I stumbled back to my car, exhausted and dehydrated, I did not say, I hate this f—ing mountain, and I hate this f—ing trail. I thought (when cogent thought returned, after lots of water and Tang and craisin trail mix and popcorn and pop tarts…), I love this challenge. I should come out here and practice more often. And I should get tougher trail shoes… and carry water!
Some people seek out, enjoy, and learn from challenges. They know that rising to challenges makes us greater.
Donald Trump does not seek out, enjoy, or learn from challenges. Donald Trump just hacks away, the same as always, thinking he’s entitled to a great golf game and expressing his rage when the world doesn’t turn around him to put his ball in that f—ing hole.
Related F-Bombing: At least when Joe Biden drops f-bombs on mic, it’s because he’s excited about meeting a challenge and doing good for his country.
grudznick also finds it fun to mock someone else’s athletic incompetence, but I like laughing at hair cuts even more.
Ah the days when conservatives hated presidents playing golf. That was a lifetime ago.

Ah, the days when TRUMP hated presidents playing golf.
o & Mark, are you referring to this history?

bcb-it doesn’t look like his game has improved any over 4 years except that he damned near wore out Air Force One campaigning for a second term and still lost it ‘bigly’…

For years, I’ve watched people blame their equipment and their surroundings for their own incompetence. Trump just brings it to the public more often.
‘… The sooner this Trump turd is flushed to oblivion-the better off the country will be for sure!
Bearcreekbat, pretty much, all though its hard to pin down a total liar like trump. He wins over the conned and they can’t admit it
S pose he puts his greens fees and dinner on the taxpayers tab?
Off topic, I wonder when we will find out who really put the assassination plot in motion against the Iranian scientist? Just saying you know , I don’t think there are any limits on what our commander and cheat and his cronies would do to bolster their standing with the Saudi’s and the Turks.
If the people that refuse to see the elephant in the room is seriously mentally disturbed then they deserve what they get. The compulsive liar and egomaniac that claims to want our already great nation to be great is a loser!
Committing sabotage against your successor after losing a free and fair election is Un-American and treasonous. LOCK HIM UP!
He’s the president. Mr. Trump may be an ass, but he is the president and at his own club he eats free. What grudznick wants to know is how much does it cost for the failed secret service fellows to dally along with him, letting this be filmed, and do they get to eat, drink, and hit a few balls too?
This could be the answer.

You know, if any of you fellows want to venture out next spring onto a local nine in the District Numbered 30, ol’ grudznick would be happy to show you what Mr. Trump is doing wrong. Perhaps we could even wager a bit on the random outcomes. If we golfed there at the Southern Hills course in my close personal friend Bob’s back yard we might convince him to come along and shoot some of his fancy photos of you whaling away with your mallet.
You have a friend gruds? Who da thunk it.
Yes. Bob. Have you not been paying attention, Mr. livingston? Bob and I go way back, to the days of yore. And then there’s my libbie friend Bill, who blogged here a lot until he started taking the big bucks from the Republican government. There is a price on everything, and Mr. Fleming cashed his in. So I have at least two friends, Mr. livingston. Would you like to make it three?
Freud has never been so relevant vis a vis Trump’s comment in light of his sexual activities, but who has ears to hear?
Thanks for the invite gruds but anyone who thinks Donito Trumpolini belongs anywhere but behind bars doesn’t make the cut.
Your bluff is hereby called, Ms Grudznick. I know of a few good “nines” in Dist 30. In fact, the layout near Bob’s domain (Southern Hills) now has 18 (not a recent development) but I never expect your info to be accurate. Custer (Rocky Knolls) and Hart Ranch (another 18-hole track) also lie within 30-land. And don’t forget Wall International Landing Strip and County Club.
Cory (Mr H to you) will provide my contact info. Let me know where and when you have our tee time arranged.
Not to stop…day #3 another joy ride

Yes, Mr. Curt, I am aware of the switching of the hole by where Bob lives with the cow bell being moved from #1 and the addition of the back nine, with that #10 I think being the short one with the big drop to an island like green. And Custer is dandy, my good friend Chuck from Pine Ridge plays there often and he can knock the slobber out of the ball. But you and I may look at the Edgemont Golf Club. They have a nine hole course that’s better than Wall.
Grudznick has sucked the puds of several people on the back 9 in Hot Springs.
Certainly not that of the greasy Mr. Russell, he being the fellow disciplined by the Supreme Court for misdoings related to the expansion of said back 9. Certainly not Mr. Russell.
Last night I stumbled in a prairie dog hole in the moonlight and though suitably dressed/gloved for a serious wilderness hike/climb I had just completed, spent midnight tweezing some large prickly pear spines, deeply imbedded.
Cory’s recount of his Black Elk run reminds me of that same direction, over Elk-Horn or -Tooth Mtn on the ridge above Horse-thief, in the 60s-70s. This one with a young pot smoker.
There was still a large icefall or two where we unrolled our down bags amongst the spires, so it must have been spring. After dinner around the fire I was surprised with the handgun from a pack. Young kid, still in high school, talented but never accomplished much. Maybe dead now, a life full of drunken stoned rebelliousness. Shooting up the woods.
Another time in the Big Horns, off trail for a few days above the treeline in summer, an older partner pulled out a magnum but quickly explained from his bigger mountain adventures in a long experienced life taught the danger of a bear in the middle of the night, so I was more comfortable. He too, dead now, was a pot lover. Our last trip was up to Crazy Horse’s last battle site in Montana, during fricking Rally traffic, but we never made it. I pissed him off laughing at a lack of any god but he barked “How do you know!?” That incident later bloomed into threats of violence and police intervention. I learned much wisdom from this well read person but in the end anger took him over.
Guns, drugs and anger. Its a potent personality I recognize, and see in dry-drunk Trump, hacking away. A sibling, nuke-boat trained, is/was a scratch golfer and the effort and dedication that took is inspiring, and a gift.
However Trump’s mockery of the soul of everything he touches, has nothing to do with golf that I can see. Nor his dysfunctional sons’ guns attitude. You don’t see fat fu*k golfers, orally obsessed, bushwhacking in the wilderness.
