Adding on, Donald Trump also went ahead to dub the qualifying and match play as nothing short of “amazing.” Moreover, he also divulged how “a large and distinguished group will be there [the Trump International Golf Club] tonight,” before ending the post with gratitude.

Well, it sure did seem as if the ex-POTUS was trying to display his achievement by describing the field and course through the post. Regardless, he couldn’t escape from the crosshairs of many people in the community as they took to comment under the tweet.

Trump’s recent wins throw the golf world into a fervor

There were a lot of comments ranging from those making fun of the politician to others calling him out for cheating just hours after Biden shared the tweet. Anyhow, one can’t help but wonder about some of these reactions.

A follower of the sport went ahead to point out the hypocrisy in the post shared by Donald Trump. He brought attention to the fact that he was being given the awards for the wins at his own course, in a tournament that his grounds hosted. Interestingly, he was also the defending champion of the Senior Club Championship, the event which he managed to win back in 2023 in Palm Beach County.

Another follower couldn’t help but dub the ex-POTUS as a cheater. Besides, the enthusiast was very brutal in doing so as they also shared the instance of when the American businessman claimed he won the 2023 edition of the Senior Club Championship in Bedminster by beating Phil Mickelson’s record. Trump, apparently claimed that he scored a 67 which was eight shots better than ‘Lefty’s’ figures before posting the contact information of Bedminster’s head golf professional, Mickey Gallagher, for those refusing to believe him.

An enthusiast of the sport recalled the video of the American businessman shanking one of his shots. Well, it wasn’t just one time as the former president had done it once at the Trump National Golf Club in LA when the ball went wide, right between the trees and the bunker on the right-hand side when he aimed it towards the greens. Hopefully a rare happening for the golfer-cum-politician, right?

Another golf fan took up the chance to make fun of the 77-year-old by pointing out how he is boasting about the awards that are being presented to him at his own course in a tournament that he himself has probably hosted. Well, the mockery did not stop there as the follower also tried to make fun of Trump by making use of the golf carts on the course.

Interestingly, the reaction is warranted as Donald Trump had once made easy work on the greens by casually guiding the ball along his walk to the hole.
