One of Donald Trump's employees once put a man in a 'chokehold' after learning what he said about the president during a game of golf.
As we know, the 79-year-old Republican loves a game or two of golf with reports claiming that the cost to taxpayers for his time enjoying the sport since returning to office is $51,800,000.
And his caddies have clearly stuck by his side through thick and thin after one, a former US Marine named AJ, didn't hesitate to get his hands dirty after someone had the gaul to call out his beloved president.
A few years back, when the 2017 Senior PGA Championship was being held at Trump Washington, AJ overhead one of the Tour pro’s caddies - Brian 'Sully' Sullivan - criticising Trump.

"He was running his mouth," AJ claimed, recalling the incident to Politico.
"Yellin’ about Mr. Trump. He was sayin’ to somebody, 'Don’t tell me how I have to feel about him! I hate that motherf*cker!'"
According to AJ, he pounced on Sully from behind and put him in a full military chokehold, as he yelled, quite hysterically: "Now, you listen to me, f*cker! You’re not gonna come to Mr. Trump’s course and eat Mr. Trump’s food and then use the word ‘hate’ about my president. I won’t have it, you got me?"
But that's not quite the way Sully, who caddied for Senior Tour player Joe Duran, tells the story.
"It’s possible I was hungover," he recalled. "I don’t like D.C. anyway and I sure as hell didn’t want to be on a Trump course. Some guys started talking about Trump. I mentioned that I can’t stand the son of a b*tch.
"I said he was the biggest jerk in the world. AJ got all worked up and said, 'That man pays my rent. He puts food on my table!' I said if he has to take money from that horse’s a**, then he ought to find a different loop.
"He kind of just grumbled off. Of course, as luck would have it, he and I got paired for the first two days. We buried the hatchet."
In reports by the MailOnline last month, it was revealed that since his second term began in January, Trump has allegedly spent almost a quarter of his days on the course.
He’s said to have golfed 37 days out of 157 days since returning to office, which equates to 23.6 percent of his presidency spent golfing.
