Commander in Cheat: How Golf Explains Trump Hardcover
There's actually a whole book sort of about this: Commander in Cheat. Rick Reilly lays out all of the massively pathetic ways that Trump cheats at golf just to inflate his image. I wouldn't be surprised if hosts a private golf tournament at Doral after all this booing just to rally his ego.
Rick Reilly wrote a book about this earlier this year - Commander in Cheat - and it's hilarious and exactly what you'd expect.

“The caddies got so used to seeing him kick his ball back onto the fairway they came up with a nickname for him: ‘Pele.’” Basically endless anecdotes about him cheating, winning seniors tournaments he was too young to be in but then claiming he won the pro tournament.
There's a book out right now about how Trump is at golf, and how it can serve as a metaphor for his life and/or presidency, called Commander in Cheat: How Golf Explains Trump.
The part everyone quotes is about his cheating, where according to people he's played with, against, and for (i.e. caddies and others), there has never been a single game where he doesn't cheat. Whether it's friends, "rivals", or even just playing by himself, there isn't a single game where he doesn't cheat blatantly and frequently. What inspired the author (Rick Reilly) to write the book is when Trump said he's won 18 club championships, when he couldn't corroborate with any source whatsoever that he's won even one.
I will jump in to point out that, no, it is not fun to play golf with Donald Trump. The man is a cheater and a liar, he kicks his ball, throws it out of traps, steals kids' balls, and lies about being club champion by holding championships at his new clubs before admitting any other members.

As someone who has caddied and played golf for most of my life, I can tell you that someone who cheats at golf has serious mental problems, a lack of humility, humor, or grasp with reality.
