He loves to play it, buy it, build it, and operate it. He owns 14 courses around the world and runs another five, all of which he insists are the best on the planet. He also claims he's a 3 handicap, almost never loses, and has won an astonishing 18 club championships.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHow much of all that is true? Almost none of it, acclaimed sportswriter Rick Reilly reveals in this unsparing look at Trump in the world of golf.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBased on Reilly's own experiences with Trump as well as interviews with over 100 golf pros, amateurs, developers, and caddies, \u003cem\u003eCommander in Cheat \u003c\/em\u003eis a startling and at times hilarious indictment of Trump and his golf game. You'll learn how Trump cheats (sometimes with the help of his caddies and Secret Service agents), lies about his scores (the \"Trump Bump\"), tells whoppers about the rank of his courses and their worth (declaring that every one of them is worth $50 million), and tramples the etiquette of the game (driving on greens doesn't help). Trump doesn't brag so much, though, about the golf contractors he stiffs, the course neighbors he intimidates, or the way his golf decisions wind up infecting his political ones.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor Trump, it's always about winning. To do it, he uses the tricks he picked up from the hustlers at the public course where he learned the game as a college kid, and then polished as one of the most bombastic businessmen of our time. As Reilly writes, \"Golf is like bicycle shorts. It reveals a lot about a man.\" \u003cem\u003eCommander in Cheat \u003c\/em\u003e\"paints a side-splitting portrait of a congenital cheater\" (\u003cem\u003eEsquire\u003c\/em\u003e), revealing all kinds of unsightly truths Trump has been hiding.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCurrently a screenwriter and author, \u003cb\u003eRick Reilly\u003c\/b\u003e for years wrote for \u003ci\u003eSports Illustrated\u003c\/i\u003e and appeared on and wrote for \u003ci\u003eESPN\u003c\/i\u003e.
