Former President Donald Trump has been in the golfing spotlight this week, boasting about his impressive record of 38 golf club championships. His prowess was on full display during a recent outing that garnered significant attention on social media.
In a video shared on Truth Social, Trump was seen on the golf course alongside golf professional Brooks Koepka, hockey legend Wayne Gretzky, and Fox News anchor Bret Baier. The clip showcases Trump executing a well-timed chip shot on the green that quickly became the talk of the online community.
As Trump prepared for the shot, a caddie removed the flag from the hole. He took a few practice swings before executing his chip, sending the ball on a precise trajectory toward the hole. Though it did not soar high, the shot met its intended target.
“One time!” a fellow golfer exclaimed as the ball rolled into the cup, confirming Trump’s skill. The former president walked away beaming, clearly pleased with his performance on the course.
In a lighthearted moment, Trump posted on Truth Social, “Winning is always nice!” highlighting his enjoyment of the game.
This golf outing was particularly timely, following Trump’s playful jabs at current President Joe Biden’s golf abilities. Recently, Trump poked fun at Biden’s capacity on the course during a video call with U.S. military personnel on Thanksgiving.
During the call, a petty officer asked Trump about his “true golf handicap” and inquired about a potential match with Biden. Trump responded with eagerness, expressing his desire to face Biden on the golf course while maintaining a confident tone.
In June 2024, Trump took swipes at Biden’s game during the presidential debate in Atlanta, where he first extended an invitation for a golf match. Trump even offered to donate $1 million to charity if he were to lose, raising the stakes for a hypothetical showdown.
When responding to the officer’s question, Trump described his confidence in his golf abilities, saying he would love to take on Biden at golf. “I mean, I’ve invited him, but he doesn’t want to show up,” Trump remarked, suggesting that Biden avoids the pressure of competition.
Trump went on to critique Biden’s golfing skills directly, asserting, “You have a lot of people talk, but they can’t play like Biden. Biden can’t hit a ball 30 yards.” He even recalled a moment during their debate when Biden claimed to be a six handicap, which Trump found hard to believe.
“I said, ‘You’re not a six.’ And he said, ‘Well, I’m an eight.’ I said, ‘That was quick. I picked up two.’ But he’s not 100. He’s not 100. But it’s a great game, and I hope you guys get to play a little bit of it,” Trump said, emphasizing the enjoyable nature of the sport.
Trump confidently asserted his own golf qualifications, citing his extensive experience on the course. “I’ve won 38 club championships, and I don’t get to practice much. I won one last year,” he shared. According to Trump, his success in tournaments is attributed to skill, regardless of age. “I said, you know, I’m decades older than you, but I said, ‘The fairway doesn’t know how old you are as you walk up the middle, and he’s in the rough,’” he elaborated.
The former president took pride in his ability to compete, noting how he has maintained a “very low handicap” over the years, although he refrained from providing a specific number. “I guess I’m very — I got to be right around scratch or better. I beat a plus-three. That’s three better, three below par,” Trump claimed.
For those unfamiliar, achieving a scratch player status means a golfer can play at par on a consistent basis. Despite his busy schedule, Trump highlighted his talent and determination to perform well in tournaments. “So, I’m a good golfer,” he concluded.
Trump’s golf skills continue to captivate his supporters and critics alike, as the former president engages in lighthearted banter regarding his favorite pastime. It remains to be seen whether a golf match with Biden will materialize, but the playful rivalry makes for entertaining discourse in the world of politics and sports.
Stay tuned for more updates on Trump’s golfing adventures and his ongoing commentary about the current administration.
