The President of the United States recently bragged about all of the golf club championships that he has won.
President Trump now claims to have won close to 40 of them.
“I’ve won 38 golf championships and I don’t get to practice very much. I beat a 27-year-old kid. I’ve won 38 of them, every one of them legitimately. It has to be legitimate because you have a lot of people following you with club championships,” he told reporters over the Thanksgiving holiday.

Sports reporter accuses Trump of lying
Longtime Sports Illustrated and ESPN reporter Rick Reilly, who wrote a book on President Trump’s golf career – “Commander in Cheat” – is calling out President Trump for lying about his golf accomplishments.
Reilly claims that President Trump hasn’t won anywhere close to the number of club championships that he is claiming to have won.
“Ha! Trump adds about 10 every time he brings this up. Problem is, he hasn’t actually won any. None. You beat Trump, he throws you out of the club. It’s like when you let your toddler beat you in a foot race. He thinks it’s real,” he wrote.
