Someone hacked into the USGA database to post some unflattering fake golf scores on Trump's account
Maybe it was Russian hackers. Could Putin be jealous that Trump is a better golfer?
On the other hand, Trump has a reputation for cheating at golf:
Someone appears to have hacked into the USGA-administered GHIN handicap system and posted some unflattering golf scores to President Trump's account, Golfweek reported.
The recorded scores were 101, 100, 108, and 102. The courses used were Trump National New York (100 and 101), Trump International in West Palm Beach (108), and the Cochise Course at Desert Mountain in Scottsdale, Arizona, according to Golfweek.
"They were not recorded by the President and were not accurate," Craig Annis, the USGA's managing director of communications, told Business Insider. "We have removed five scores as a result."

Many were skeptical of the 68 score, particularly because Trump has a reputation for cheating on the golf course.

"He cheats like hell. So I don't quite know how he is in business. They say that if you cheat at golf, you cheat at business," LPGA golfer Suzann Pettersen told a Norwegian newspaper in 2018. "He always says he is the world's best putter. But in all the times I've played him, he's never come close to breaking 80. But what's strange is that every time I talk to him, he says he just golfed a 69, or that he set a new course record or won a club championship someplace."
