Dumpus cheats at golf by using personal cart at his courses that's faster than other carts

Ben Terris ✔ @bterris (WaPo)

After writing a story years ago about how Trump cheats at golf, I got a tip with a great, but unprovable rumor: Trump, the source claimed, had a personal golf cart faster than any other on his courses so he could get to his ball first and move it, unseen.

Who could be that petty? I mean, what kind of person would go to those lengths to make themselves look good?

he did NOT wait around for his partners to hit. He just left. Only a lapdog fool would ever play with him.

...that's not really a way to cheat.
He's playing with people hitting it 200 - 300 yards. And he's at the low end.
If the cart was twice as fast, by the time he got out and kicked his ball, people would be 60 to 90 feet away.
Everybody would see him doing it. Not the least bit sneaky or clever.
Besides, at that quality of play, moving the ball on every hole only means 1 stroke.
It's easier to shave strokes. And PINO's always going to take the easy way!

His attitude was that any golfer who cheats during the game was: 1) no gentleman, and 2) couldn't be trusted for anything else.

I have no confidence in this.
He cheats merely by shaving a stroke unless he actually makes a par.
Bogeys become pars, doubles become singles. Triple become SINGLES.
Make 4 pars for real, shave 18 strokes on the other 14 holes, shoot 94, claim 76.
It's no more complicated than cooking the books.

Earlier today.
This is still a joke. One really can't cheat that way.
Getting to the ball first means 80 or 100 feet.
Anybody would still see him cheating.
Believe it if you wish, but this is not how he cheats.
Editing To Add: there is no cheating worse than lying about one's score. Any other method is the chocolate syrup. The shaving is the ice cream
