Rick Reilly hat Donald Trump über 30 Jahre beim Golfspiel beobachtet. Sein Buch über dessen Verhalten beim Sport ist ebenso witzig wie erhellend. Wie man Golf spielt entblößt, wer man ist.

Wenn es etwas gibt, was in Trumps Welt auf keinen Fall passieren darf, dann eine Niederlage - und sei es beim Spiel mit Tiger Woods.
