But while he owns a few golf courses, do you know what is Trump’s Handicap Index?
According to Trump, the best part of his game is his putting. Trump has won a total of 19 club championships in his golfing period. Surely, it will be quite interesting to see what the Handicap Index of the former US President is.
According to the United States Golf Association’s GHIN system, in 2016, Trump’s handicap index was a pretty decent 2.8. But what’s a bit strange is that his recorded rounds are dated back to 2009.
However, many high-profile celebrities, as well as professionals, have accused Donald Trump of being dishonest when he plays golf. Further, his playing partners accuse him of somewhat exaggerating his golfing performances on the course. Does this pose a big question mark on his Handicap Index also?

Donald Trump talks about his golf swing
75-year-old Trump hits the ball well as it’s quite evident from his Handicap Index. Trump once also spoke about what he thinks while making a good golf swing.
He said, “For me, it’s all about the hips, just get them out of the way as fast and as hard as I can and let the arms really swing through. I read about the hips a long time ago in Ben Hogan’s book, and it became my simple key, and I’ve stayed with it. It might look a little crazy, but the more I clear, the straighter I hit it.”
