Sportswriter Rick Reilly is calling BS on Donald Trump after the former president declared himself the winner of both the club championship and senior club championship at the Trump International Golf Club in Florida.
Hes never won a championship at a course he doesnt own and operate, Reilly, who has golfed with Trump, said on MSNBC on Tuesday. Hes played in Pebble Beach, hes played in the Tahoe one, where there are rules and judges and cameras. And in those, hes never finished in the top half. So he wins when anybody who disagrees that he won is out of the club. Thats how he gets it.
Reilly, who wrote an entire book on how Trump cheats at golf, said the former president even confessed one of his methods: When he buys a golf course, he plays the first round alone and declares himself the course champion.
And thats not the only trick up Trumps sleeve.
Reilly said golfers have to trust each other because of the vast distances on the course and the fact that no referees are keeping watch and Trump takes full advantage of that.
The former president always gets a turbo-charged golf cart that goes three times as fast as yours, so hes always 200 yards ahead, and that gives him time to cheat.

Trump moves his ball to better spots and kicks his opponents balls into the bunker.
One time in L.A., he was playing $50 a hole with these three guys, he hits it in the pond. They see the splash, Reilly said. By the time they get there, its in the middle of the fairway, and theyre like, What the F, Donald? And he goes, It mustve been the tide.
Reilly said Trump cheats like a mafia accountant and called his latest championships fake as Velveeta cheese.
