On top of everything else, Trump also cheats at golf

As well as being a pathological liar, a narcissist and a megalomaniac, a new book chronicles the extent to which Donald Trump cheats at golf.
Written by former Sports Illustrated columnist, Rick Reilly, the book collects together many anecdotes from various famous people about Trump's nasty habits when playing his favourite game. These include throwing opponents' balls away while supposedly unobserved, and having a caddy miraculously find lost balls. It also details his penchant for driving golf carts on greens, and generally eschewing normal golfing etiquette.
Mr. Trump also boasts of a 2.8 handicap, which should make him a pretty good golfer, probably the best golfing president ever (if that is an important metric for you). But, guess what, he cheats there too. That 2.8 is based on his best period, from September 2009 to June 2016, and has not been updated since. If he doesn't include all his games in his handicap calculation, but picks and chooses which games to include, then we have no real idea of his actual prowess at the game. This is otherwise known as ... cheating.
And this is the man voted by millions to be the leader of the free world....
