Four lousy odds of 101, 100, 108 and 102 were posted on the president's Golf Handicap and Information Network account on Friday, Golfweek reported.
The scores were published “in the same way that any other golfer or club in America might publish them,” meaning it was possible that someone rigging various games had gained access to his account.
“We are aware of media reports questioning recent scores posted on President Trump’s GHIN account,” Craig Annis, chief communications officer for the United States, told Golfweek. “As we are looking through the data, we are finding that someone has erroneously posted a series of scores on behalf of the GHIN user.”
He said the association is still working to find the person responsible. Of course, as of Saturday, the scores had been removed. Even with the fake numbers removed, Trump maintains a 2.8 rating, which Golfweek reports is considered “overly flattering.”.
Another suspiciously good rating (68) was posted on Trump's account last month and later removed.
After the fake results were deleted, only one rating was posted to Trump's account — a 96 rating from October 2018 — even though he has played golf at least 82 times and visited golf clubs 176 times since he was sworn in as President, according to Trump Golf Count.
