Donald Trump may own plenty of golf courses, but Samuel L. Jackson says that he isn’t a very good golfer.
While the two have reportedly golfed together in the past, Jackson insists they aren’t friends. And, to make matters worse, Trump cheats according to a Hemisphere Magazine interview with the actor.
So we heard you and Donald Trump are golf buddies…
“I would never say buddies,” Jackson says, flatly. “Or friends. I’ve golfed with him.”

We find the sports news you need to know, so you don't have to.OK. Having golfed with him, do you feel like you understand him? Do you have any idea what he really hopes to accomplish by running for President?
“None,” Jackson says. “But it’s funny—last week or so, I actually got a bill from Trump National Golf Club. And I haven’t been there in four or five years, so I had my assistant call. They said it was for membership dues. And I said, ‘I’m not a member,’ and they said, ‘Yeah, you are—you have a member number.’ Apparently he’d made me a member of one of his golf clubs, and I didn’t even know it!”
Your own golf buddy, Donald Trump, charged you without your knowledge?
“Yeah!” Jackson says, laughing. “I’m not payin’ that! But no—I don’t know what the Don’s up to. Interesting character. More P.T. Barnum than politician. I don’t think he believes half the things he says.”
Who’s the better golfer?
“Oh, I am, for sure,” Jackson says, then smiles. “I don’t cheat.”
Unsurprisingly, Trump quickly tweeted his feelings about Jackson.
Trump has been accused of cheating by others in the past, including rock star Alice Cooper and sportswriter Rick Rilley.
