Donald Trump was recently spotted at his Trump National Golf Course in Doral, hitting a few drives.
A user named Chris Matan shared a clip of Trump in action on Instagram, where the 77-year-old could be seen hitting a great shot. Following the shot, Trump waved towards the cheering crowd and took a dig at United States President Joe Biden.
"Do you think Biden could do that? I don’t think so," he said.
Biden is not much of a fan of golf unlike his predecessor, whose love for golf has been widely publicized. Trump is often seen playing golf at different courses around the world. According to the USGA GHIN (Golf Handicap Information Network) website, a player handicap database, the former US President has a 2.5 handicap. This means that he is capable of finishing a round with a score of 2.5 strokes above par.
Earlier this year, Trump revealed on social media that he had shot 5-under 67 in the final round to claim the Senior Club Championship at Bedminster. He further revealed that there was no cheating involved, contrary to popular belief. However, his claim didn't have many takers.
Many sources claim that Trump is not a bad golfer at all. Players who played alongside him also made similar claims. Bryson DeChambeau, who played with Trump at the LIV Golf Bedminster ProAm, said that he had a good iron game as well as good putting.
