Oscar De La Hoya spills the beans on Trump

And doesn't pull his punches

In a pre-fight press conference, Oscar De La Hoya recounted his experiences on a golf course at Trump National LA two years ago. Here’s what he told the Los Angeles Times, which gives a lot more detail from the original Yahoo scoop.

De La Hoya was about to start his round when Trump pulled up in a golf cart and asked to join. De La Hoya said, "Of course, this is your golf course." 

"First ball Trump hits off to the water, gets another ball from his pocket. Hits it off to the left, out of bounds. Trump said, 'Oh, I got another one, just warming up.'

"Another one to the water. Then the fourth ball he hits I know it went to the bushes. But Donald, what he does, he tees off first so he can take off right away. I pipe mine down the middle. So we go off to our ball, and who do we see? Donald Trump, right in the middle of the fairway."

As they pulled up, Trump said, "By the way, I found my first ball, it's right here."

"We're like, 'OK, yeah,' we're cracking up, not in front of his face. Then we go on to a par-3. There's a big bush right between the tee and the green, so you can’t really see the green -- you can see the flag, not the green. Trump hits and we just know it went out of bounds. We know it. He takes off. We get up there and he's like, 'Oh, my ball's right here!' Three feet away. 'And by the way, I'm going to pick it up, it's a gimme.'"

Oscar De La Hoya has never been afraid to pull his punches, and this is the most detailed account we’ve seen on Trump’s propensity to more than push the sporting boundaries. But will the electorate care?
