I have too much integrity to cheat in golf

Boxing legend Oscar De La Hoya claims that Republican candidate Donald Trump cheats on the golf course.

“Donald, what he does is he tees off first so we go off to our balls, and what do we see but Donald Trump right in the middle of the fairway”, De La Hoya explained. “Golf is an important thing and I felt I had to say something”.

Trump responded to Samuel L. Jackson’s cheating accusations by saying, “I don’t cheat at golf but @SamuelLJackson cheats-with his game he has no choice-and stop doing commercials!”

“First ball, [Trump] hits off to the water, gets another ball from his pocket”. But two years after they teed off, De La Hoya no longer seems to be laughing about the incident.

“Yes, I caught him [cheating]”, De La Hoya told the Associated Press.

“Another one to the water”. A third hit the drink again, and a fourth – apparently Trump is hardly conservative when it comes to mulligans – veered off into some bushes. There’s a big bush right between the tee and the green, so you can’t really see the green – you can see the flag, not the green. I pipe mine down the middle.

Trump, a low handicapper who says he hasn’t played golf in two months because of the campaign, said De La Hoya did play Trump National in a celebrity match against comedian George Lopez in 2010 as part of the “Donald J. Trump’s Fabulous World of Golf” show.

Trump said, ” ‘And by the way, I’m picking it up, ‘ ” according to De La Hoya.

“We’re like, ‘Okay, yeah.’ We’re cracking up, not in front of his face”, De La Hoya recalled (via Yahoo Sports). We know it. He takes off. “Three feet away. ‘And by the way, I’m going to pick it up, it’s a gimme'”.

The experience was enough to convince De la Hoya to withhold his support of Trump’s political aspirations.

“It shows something about his character”, De La Hoya told the AP. I believe that most politicians have some good traits as well as many bad traits.

Who will I vote for come November?

But we’re told Trump didn’t even play with Oscar that day – he only stepped on the course for that one shot and left.
