Former President Donald Trump’s love for golf is no mystery. He has often been seen on a golf course, even before and after his term. Trump is said to be good at the game, frequently teaming up with various other people for one round.

That being said, one of Trump’s more iconic rounds came in 2017.

The businessman was out on a Columbus Day round, where he ended up shooting 73. It was an iconic moment for Trump, especially since he is known to love the game. Lindsey Graham was with Trump when he carried out the task, celebrating by tweeting later on.

Trump also made most fairways, acting as a gracious host when he ran out of golf balls.

Furthermore, Graham referred to his swing as nice and compact, which results in accurate drives and consistent irons. Trump’s swing could even be described as athletic, which eventually helps with his game.

“Not one mulligan. Not one,” Graham admitted.

Trump boasts about recent hole-in-one

While on the course last month, Trump seems to have shot an ace. “Many people are asking, so I’ll give it to you now, it is 100% true,” Trump said. It happened while at the Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, where Trump was playing with some professionals as well.

“I hit a 5-iron, which sailed magnificently into a rather strong wind, with approximately 5 feet of cut, whereupon it bounced twice and then went clank, into the hole”. 

That being said, Trump has also enjoyed playing golf with PGA Tour stars. The list includes Tiger Woods, Dustin Johnson, Bryson DeChambeau, and Rory McIlroy. Of course, the venues tend to be owned or managed by Trumps’ management.
