7. What was going on in that month? I know shitstorm that's obvious but was he here or abroad?

I'll have to try and check! I really think this last month of not playing is directly related to his health.

never bothers to find a ball he hits out of bounds, golfing does not require much exertion. Any real golfer at least gets light exercise out there. It must be pretty bad if he can't manage Trump style golf.

If he actually looked at the Trump golf count, he would have seen that in past years Trump didn't play any golf between late October and Thanksgiving. Not because of his health but because the weather for golf in the DC area isn't that great at this time of year, so he waits until he's back in Florida for the holiday before playing again.

2017: last round in October: 10/28; next round 11/22 (note: he played a round in between those dates while in Japan)
2018: last round in October: 10/14; next round 11/21

If he doesn't play any golf while in Florida for Thanksgiving, then maybe there's some indication of a health issue keeping him from playing.

Perhaps that's the tie that binds him to Lard Butt.

It's probably the weather. He golfed a ton in August, less in Sept, less in Oct, see a pattern? Wonder if anyone's told him golfing is making him fatter?

Weather can't be used as an excuse there.
