Donald Trump's 'pet hate' when playing golf revealed amid claims US President 'cheats' his opponents

Trump has always had one 'pet hate' while playing golf.

Donald Trump's 'pet hate' while playing golf has been revealed amid claims that he 'cheats'.

The 47th US President has made headlines this week for his imposition of reciprocal tariffs on many countries worldwide.

His plan imposes steep tariff rates on several countries, with others spared the brunt of the damage.

The policy does have its supporters, but many have questioned and criticised the calculation of specific rates against the US and the plan in general.

Away from the White House, Trump could be preparing to play another round of golf this weekend.

The 78-year-old is an avid golf player, and as of March 29, had played 18 rounds and across eight different weekends since being inaugurated as President on January 20.

Trump regularly plays with celebrities and sports stars - though a number of them have accused him of 'cheating' during matches.

Hollywood star Samuel L. Jackson once accused him of cheating before having to pay a huge bill.

A sportswriter once published an entire book surrounding cheating claims on Trump.

And the 78-year-old once claimed victory in a seniors tournament - despite missing one day of competition.

Trump requested the use of his score from a practice round earlier in the week, which was then added to the leaderboards.

Predictably, he then took to his Truth Social platform to turn his win into a dig against now former President Joe Biden.

But when he is playing, Trump has one 'pet hate' - and has even turned it into a rule that he enforces at his clubs whenever possible.

Todays-Golfer editor Kevin Brown played a round of golf with Trump earlier this year and immediately spotted one thing that set him apart from everyone else he has played with - even professionals.

"The Donald doesn't hang about on the course," he wrote. "He's the fastest player I've ever played with.

"Hit-move, hit-move, hit-move... he's relentless.

"I must admit I was puffing and panting to keep up with him, and wasn't in the least surprised when Trump revealed one of his pet golfing hates... is slow play.

"I concede I'm not the quickest player around, a fact pointed out by Trump (well, kind of) as early as the second hole, when another member of our group came over to me to point out: 'Kevin, Mr. Trump has asked me to ask you if you can speed things up a bit?'"
