Gossip & Rumors
The Donald Cheats? -- F-O-R-E!!!

Billionaire entrepreneur Donald Trump took in a round of golf with a threesome Tuesday afternoon at his Los Angeles course, Trump National Golf Club in Rancho Palos Verdes, Calf. - and sources tell TMZ they caught him cheating at his golf game!

Numerous sources tell us The Donald shanked his shot from the tee out of bounds into the weeds.  He then proceeded to drive his golf cart - alone-  down to find his ball.  When he noticed his ball went into the natural preserve area, he turned his golf cart to block him as he took a ball out of his pocket, looked over at his partners to make sure they weren't watching, and rolled the new ball into the rough.

 The rule in golf is when you hit your ball into the natural preserve, it's played as a lateral hazard.  This means you drop your ball 2 club lengths from point of entry.  Donald's ball was dropped much further than 2 club lengths from point of entry - more like 4 or 5.

When the new roll sunk too deep into the rough grass, Trump picked up the ball and placed it higher in the grass to improve the lie of his ball.  The Donald then got into his golf cart to drive back to his partners to tell them he found his ball.

When you're Donald, you don't have too many people to answer to.  BTW Happy Birthday Donald- you turned 60 today!

Calls placed to Donald Trump's reps were not immediately returned.

19. He owns the club, he's rich and he cheats. Hmm...Does he also have his manservant Oddjob slice off the heads of statues with a deadly metal hat?

20. Oh the horror! How dare Donald take 2 extra club lengths drop in a friendly game of golf! I have lost all faith in the man and will never watch his show again!

Please! It's not like this was some PGA tour. Just some friends playing a round, probably for his birthday. Who cares if he took a coulpe extra club length drop... who does it hurt if he even takes a mulligan.

23. I fail to see how any of this matters. There are bigger problems in the world than this and far far better things to be focusing on than watching/SPYING on someone on his leisure time.

25. I see no problem here. I normally tee it up on every shot. Otherwise, it would take
me all day to get on the green.

26. When a group of guys are playing golf for the fun of it, who cares if the ball is moved to improve their lie; on the other hand if you’re playing in a tournament or playing with the guys for money you better play it as it lies.
