Summary
This book is dedicated to the truth. It's still a thing.
Commander in Cheat: How Golf Explains Trump is a fascinating on-the-ground and behind-the-scenes survey of Donald Trump's ethics deficit on and off the golf course.
Renowned sports writer Rick Reilly transports listeners onto the greens with President Trump, revealing the absurd ways in which he lies about his feats and what they can tell us about the way he leads off the course in the most important job in the world.
Reilly has been with Trump on the fairways, on the greens and in the rough; he has seen how the President plays - and it's not pretty. Based on his personal experiences and interviews with dozens of golf pros, amateurs, developers, partners, opponents and even caddies who have firsthand involvement with Trump out on the course, Reilly takes a deep and often hilarious look at how Trump shamelessly cheats at golf, lies about it, sues over it, bullies with it and profits from it.
From Trump's ridiculous claim to have won 18 club championships, to his devious cheating tricks, to his tainted reputation as a golf course tycoon, Commander in Cheat tells you everything you need to know about the man.
You could write a book about what Trump's golf reveals about him. Here it is.

Shockingly worrying truths
The writer has done an amazing job of highlighting something that should never need to be. Genius book.

Very entertaining
Not in the least interested in golf, but it's the mark of a good writer that Rick Reilly can convey his love of that game, and the world in which it exists, in a highly entertaining and anecddotal style. A bit rambling, but in a way suited to an audio book. A bit one-paced too but he comes to a surprisingly passionate end.
BTW, the translations of Scottish abuse are way off! I suspect he knows what they really mean but has toned it down for the American market! Very funny though.

Hilarious, in a distressing kind of way...
This should be required listening for every American if they want to understand their leader better.

Well researched and written
I know little about golf but I understand enough about the vanity of celebs and sports-people who are willing to turn a blind-eye to a cheat if there is gain in it for them. When you condone bad behaviour on a golf course you lose your moral compass along with the cheat's.
This book is so well written that it summarises the 'Commander' in such simple terms that you know he would not know loyalty, honesty or integrity if it stood in the middle of a green!
Well written about a lousy person.

Fantastic, insightful listen.
Loved this book. As a lover of golf and all the wonderful gifts it bestows, it's been heartbreaking to watch Trump drag it through the dirt. But this book provides so much insight about why he is who he is; you truly are how you golf. Passionately read by the author throughout, it's obvious he cares deeply about the subject matter. And a hat tip for declaring he has the "double eagle of wives" (rather than the "albatross") in the end credits.

Highly entertaining and informative book.
A very clever and successful way to describe a complex but horrendous personality. Highly amusing, and well narrated. The anecdotes are well written and comment well delivered. Well worth a listen.

Amazing audio book
Of all the dozens of books out there about Donald Trump this one will give you the biggest insight into the worst president that America has ever had. Weather you love or hate golf this is an essential listen. The narration takes you straight into the barmy world of Trump and the harm he commits on ordinary people.
