Passenger aviation worldwide has turn into terribly protected. In 2023, there have been no deadly crashes involving passenger jet plane on scheduled flights.

What occurs when one of the polarizing figures on the earth of golf companions with one of the polarizing figures on the earth, interval?

Science tells us sure poles will be attracted to one another and join, which appears to be the case with U.S. Open champ Bryson DeChambeau and former President Donald Trump, who put collectively a stable spherical of golf however fell one shot wanting DeChambeau’s final objective in his newest episode of “Break 50” — a recurring characteristic on his YouTube Channel.

“That is going to be one of many best rounds of golf ever performed,” Trump stated in a blast of pre-round trumpeting.

Shocked? Did not suppose so. 

RORY’S MISSED PUTTMcIlroy is newest sufferer of the merciless left-to-right downhiller | ‘… for the grace of God’

Undecided if the sport’s historians will ever checklist it alongside Nicklaus-Watson at Turnberry, and even Xander Schauffele’s Sunday 65 this previous weekend at Troon, however frankly, quirkiness apart, DeChambeau and Trump, at Trump’s New Jersey course in Bedminster, was watchable in its personal means, and dare we are saying dramatic?

The quirky: In these specific episodes on DeChambeau’s YouTube efforts, the objective is to interrupt 50, over 18 holes, with the host and one other golfer partnering in a two-man scramble … from the course’s most ahead tees.

Even with DeChambeau in a position to drive all of the par-4s from the pink tees, and go away flip-wedges for second photographs to the par-5s, 23 underneath par for 18 holes is asking lots. Ultimately, it was asking an excessive amount of, however barely — 12 birdies, 5 eagles and a par resulted in a 50, one shy of the present’s final objective.

On a facet notice, DeChambeau stated beforehand the present can be donating $10,000 per birdie and $20,000 per eagle to the Wounded Warrior Mission.

5 takeaways from Donald Trump and Bryson DeChambeau’s two-man scramble …

1. When did Donald Trump and Bryson DeChambeau play this spherical?

Trump’s ear isn’t bandaged so the spherical of golf was clearly performed earlier than the July 13 assassination try in Pennsylvania.

So it was additionally clearly performed earlier than this previous weekend’s announcement that President Joe Biden is dropping out of the presidential rematch — “Do you suppose Biden may do this?” Trump asks after one good shot.

And, additionally apparent, it was performed earlier than DeChambeau went belly-up eventually week’s British Open and was nonetheless using the excessive of his U.S. Open victory final month at Pinehurst.

2. Guess which golf programs are Trump’s favorites

Not so shockingly, Trump is an enormous fan of Trump golf programs. When DeChambeau asks for his favourite programs, he shortly talks of his programs within the UK — one in Eire and two in Scotland, together with the famed Turnberry.

Trump makes use of the episode to speak glowingly about what they see earlier than them at Bedminster, the place the rolling terrain and greenery belies its proximity (40 miles) to Manhattan. 

3. The Donald Trump golf swing works higher than it seems to be

Trump claims a 2 handicap, or no less than claims to have been a 2 in some unspecified time in the future, and has additionally gained a bunch of membership championships at his programs. Given his propensity for promotion, some elevate an eyebrow in any respect of that. 

However there’s no denying his acumen with two specific golf equipment — the motive force and putter. 

On all however one or two driving holes with DeChambeau, the shot tracer confirmed Trump hitting center-cut tee photographs with a little bit of left-to-right fade. Undecided if there’s a replica/paste operate on the shot tracer, however there appeared to be. 

It’s a bit stunning at first, given how Trump’s full swing begins with a flat takeaway that appears borderline painful. However he reloads earlier than the downswing and passes by way of the ball on an honest airplane with good velocity and numbing consistency — seems to be like one thing you see from these within the late 1800s taking part in in overcoats. Substance over model, which signifies high quality hand-eye coordination.

He usually employs a bit Gary Participant-style “walk-through” on his follow-through, which an novice swing analyst would possibly attribute to potential points with the left knee — or another left-side half that makes it troublesome to take care of stability on the follow-through.

No matter, it really works.

And the putter is surprisingly good for a 78-year-old man placing conventionally — in comparison with DeChambeau, who makes use of an prolonged putter he rocks by way of the hitting zone like a pendulum. Brandel Chamblee would inform you Trump has an excessive amount of “hit” in his placing stroke, however his velocity and accuracy are constant, or no less than they have been on this present day.

In between, on the few events Trump takes a full swing with a brief iron, there have been a few fats photographs. Yeah, yeah, blamed on “moist” circumstances on a course which should have seen some current rain. Most of us simply blame our wedge.

4. It is Trump, so there’s one thing for everybody

Followers and detractors alike will discover loads right here to chew on with each Trump and the present host.

DeChambeau, who’s been making an attempt exhausting (too exhausting?) to vary the notion of him as geeky golf scientist, is both usually excited on the problem of taking pictures a two-man 49 or must dial again the gung-ho meter. 

And Trump, like every president or former president, has sufficient individuals blowing smoke. He doesn’t want DeChambeau begging a fats iron shot to “stand up” when it’s clearly been mis-hit and can fall properly wanting the goal. 

Trump, in charge of the cart (in fact) drives over tee containers and proper as much as the closely-mowed fringes of greens. Sure, he owns the place, however nonetheless …

5. Who’s Donald Trump’s favourite LIV golfer?

At first of the day, whereas watching DeChambeau launch drives on the vary, Trump and different onlookers marvel at his unmatched size.

“The longest hitter by far. By far,” Trump tells the digicam. “And I do know ’em all.” 

Shocked? Nah.

In one other stunning transfer for a 78-year-old man, Trump takes management of the pill within the duo’s cart and hits go on his musical play checklist.

And close to the top, approaching the ultimate tee, Trump asks DeChambeau’s opinion of his fellow tour gamers, not specifying if he means PGA Tour golfers or DeChambeau’s present mates on the Trump-endorsed LIV Tour. DeChambeau sings their normal praises earlier than Trump jumps in with a specific opinion.

“You recognize whose sport I like?” he asks earlier than answering in his subsequent breath. “Patrick Reed.”

Whether or not a Trump supporter or detractor, you needed to see that coming, proper?
