Suzann Pettersen, the 15-time LPGA Tour winner and a golfing partner of Donald Trump says the president “cheats like hell” on the golf course.
Pettersen, who has known Trump for a decade and says she is fond of the president even though she does not agree with his policies.
“He cheats like hell … so I don’t quite know how he is in business,” said Pettersen.
“They say that if you cheat at golf, you cheat at business. I’m pretty sure he pays his caddie well since no matter how far into the woods he hits the ball, it’s in the middle of the fairway when we get there.”
Trump is listed as having a three handicap, a phenomenal achievement for a man in his 70s who also has to find time to run a country.
He always says he is the world’s best putter. But in all the times I’ve played him, he’s never come close to breaking 80,” she said.
“But what’s strange is that every time I talk to him he says he just golfed a 69, or that he set a new course record or won a club championship someplace.
I just laugh. I’m someone who likes being teased and I like teasing others, and Trump takes it well, and that must be why he likes me.”
