Most people that play golf don’t cheat.

But there are always people that do. Those of us who play by the rules reserve a special contempt for those who do.

We also take pleasure in catching them in the act and enforcing the resulting penalties.
You seem to be making the accusation that all golfers cheat. But you don’t even say that understandably.

If you don’t like the sport don’t play it, but don’t make unfounded and unsupported accusations about those of us that do play and love the sport.

Trump is a poor example on which to base a general contention.
