Donald Trump and his love for golf have been prominent since before his presidency. He is known to have visited golf course 298 during his four-year term, and even manages and owns various courses through his organization. Furthermore, Trump is said to be good at the game he loves so much.

This time, however, Trump has claimed to have shot a hole-in-one.

The news was previously announced by Republican candidate Tim Swain on Twitter. Ultimately, Trump chose to announce the same via his own statement.

Donald Trump officially announced his hole-in-one

Trump’s ace was on the 181 yard 7th hole at his Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach. He provided a detailed explanation in his statement, covering almost all aspects of the same.

“Many people are asking, so I’ll give it to you now, it is 100% true,” Trump stated. It happened while he was playing with golf legend Ernie Els, Senior US Open winner Gene Sauers, Ken Duke, and Mike Goodes.

“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”. 

Trump explained that the four players he was with noticed his ace before he did. Of course, playing with that group of people was fun for Trump. Furthermore, Els and Trump played against Sauers, Duke, and Goodes.

In the end, Trump refused to tell if we won or not as he is modest, and does not want to brag.

How well does Trump play?

In a recent interview, Trump had admitted to being a successful golfer. However, he did admit he can play a little more. If that was not enough, the 75-year-old businessman has won club champions.

Even Gary Player – a golf legend – has spoken in Trump’s favor. He spoke about him being better than most presidents, at least by 20-25 shots. Trump had disagreed, adding that he feels he is better than that.

That being said, Trump has often shared videos and photos of himself on the course. Sometimes, he has even played a round or two with popular stars like Tiger Woods, Dustin Johnson, Bryson DeChambeau, and Rory McIlroy. Many of these have been at a course managed or owned by Trump’s organization.
