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.

And what person hasn't cheated a little in his lifetime? Look at Medicare/Medicaid, FEMA, etc. That's what you call cheaters!!

36. The charge of "cheating" is pretty serious. . .at least, to us golfers out here. When anyone plays a practice round, that is, not a competition match against other players, it is not uncommon to move the ball, hit several balls from the same location, don't keep score etc. In other words, you can not cheat unless you are playing a match against an opponent. I think the author of this article is not a golfer and is full of bullshit.

37. What do you expect from this guy? He's busy giving America advice on how to make money while his casinos lose billions of dollars in Atlantic City. He talks about lusting after his daughter, and he wouldn't have amounted to anything if he hadn't inherited big chunks of land in downtown Manhattan. Is this a great country, or what?

40. That picture isn't even of him, unless he's grown a ponytail since he was last photographed. Or did one hope that little fault would just be overlooked? The red hairband give it away!

This isn't news... time to go find greener pastures I believe...
