USGA investigates after golf scores 'erroneously' recorded for Trump
By Rachel Frazin - 05/18/19 01:01 PM EDT
The U.S. Golf Association (USGA) says it is looking into unflattering golf scores that it said were "erroneously" recorded for President Trump this week.
Scores of 101, 100, 108 and 102 were posted Friday under the president's name on his USGA-run handicap system even though the president did not play golf that day, Golfweek reported.
USGA told The Hill on Saturday that someone "erroneously" posted scores on behalf of Trump.

Behind Kim Jong Il’s Famous Round of Golf
By Josh Sens
June 1, 2016
With the U.S. Open fast approaching at a famously penal course in the Pittsburgh area, I’d like to set the record straight on one of history’s most astounding rounds of golf, an achievement so outlandish it could pass as myth.
No, I’m not thinking what you think I’m thinking, which should come as a relief, since Johnny Miller’s closing 63 at Oakmont in 1973 has been picked over to death.
The round I have in mind took place in a setting far more punishing than any Open venue, and the 18-hole tally makes Miller’s sizzling score look like a number posted by a weekend chop. I’m referring to—what else?—the 38-under-par 34 reportedly fired by the late North Korean despot Kim Jong Il, a man known to his people as Dear Leader and to you and me as Dear Top-the-Leader Board. According to official North Korean state accounts, Kim’s round, the first he’d ever played, was highlighted by five aces.
