Secret Service agents didn’t sweep the outskirts of Donald Trump’s Florida golf course where his alleged would-be assassin was hiding because the former president’s visit was an “off-the-record” plan, the embattled agency’s acting director admitted.
Ryan Wesley Routh, 58, allegedly set up a sniper’s nest on the edge of Trump International West Palm Beach and hid there undetected for nearly 12 hours before Trump, 78, teed off on Sunday afternoon, federal prosecutors said.

Secret Service agents didn’t sweep the outskirts of Donald Trump’s Florida golf course where his alleged would-be assassin hid, according to reports.
Trump’s visit to the golf course was an “off-the-record” plan, reports said.
Acting Secret Service head Ronald Rowe Jr. said Monday that agents didn’t mount an intense search of the perimeter because the 45th president’s round wasn’t on his official calendar.

The real issue is that the guy was apparently there 12 hours before Trump off the cuff decided to play some golf. How did he know?
This begs the question of were there multiple shooters stationed at Trump's likely places he might have visited. I find it highly unlikely that one shooter just happened to get very very lucky.

On whose order? SOP is that it be searched. Someone had to give an order th deviate from SOP.

There is nothing SOP in regard to the protection of Trump. It is clear, the government is behind these efforts. This latest guy running around the world portending to be a weapons dealer, recruiting people from multiple countries...for what??
This is NOT over. Trump's life is more at risk with every day approaching election day. These people want him gone, and still utter this nonsense. He needs to be smarter about his safety. The Secret Service is NOT doing their job. Let a true professional into the picture, and he is shot from half a mile away, and the shooter disappears into thin air, just like Dallas.

Shooter(s) likely tipped off by someone on the detail or by perfidious staff.
Patsy in custody, likely a 'pro' out there somewhere who ghosted.
