Oh, Golf Digest, you’ll try anything to sell them periodicals! Sinking ship with what someone told them is a fresh, millennial-attracting paint job that it is, GD has seized upon Donald Drumpf’s ascension to the White House and put (a very photoshopped version of) the “Golfer in Chief” on the cover.
But from looks of things in the Twitterverse, the Trumped up cover wasn’t well received.
Here’s the original Tweet (we see you, Golf Digest, working in the “Ivanka sun dress mishap” video). Pin that shit and add and ad to the front end of video…CRUSHING IT.
Politics aside, @realDonaldDrumpf is about to become the best golfer president in our history: https://t.co/M34VrVFndr pic.twitter.com/NVt1mM251t

And the replies. Oh, the replies.
@GolfDigest You’re embarrassing yourself.

@GolfDigest @realDonaldDrumpf “Drumpf has won 19 club championships, all at his own courses” Do we live in North Korea now? Good grief

You expect me to believe the 2.8 handicap with a swing like that? @GolfDigest @realDonaldDrumpf

@GolfDigest @realDonaldDrumpf 2.8 handicap my ass. I’m cancelling my subscription since Golf Digest apparently condones cheating.

@GolfDigest @realDonaldDrumpf Funny how he and GOP relentlessly criticized Obama for golfing. Wait. No it’s NOT.

@GolfDigest What nonsense. Drumpf is a good golfer like Kim Jong Il was. ?https://t.co/a90B1YqfXK@realDonaldDrumpf

And for your edification, here’s the cover of this Special (indeed!) issue of Golf Digest with 100 pages (What? How?) dedicated to Donald Drumpf: Golfer in Chief.
