Former President Donald Trump is renowned for his love of golf. Despite being listed with a 2.5 handicap, recent footage captured on social media suggests that his skills may not be as impressive as previously believed.
A Twitter user, @rsp3k22, recently posted a video of Trump playing at his Trump National Golf Club in Los Angeles. In the video, the videographer can be heard saying, “Trump’s shooting right now. Let’s see if he can hit the green… Oh, he shanked it!” The resulting shot was far from what one would expect from a player with a 2.5 handicap.
Trump faced a wedge shot from the front of the green, with an audience of golf carts behind him. Despite his confident posture, the swing resulted in what resembled the shot of a 30-handicapper rather than that of a low-single-digit golfer. The ball ended up near some bushes and right of the green-side bunker, further from the hole than where he started.
The video quickly sparked reactions from golf enthusiasts and professionals alike. Some humorously suggested he should have just taken a 4 on that hole. Others praised his swing plane during the practice shot, noting the deviation during the actual shot. Rick Reilly, famed Sports Illustrated writer and author of “Commander in Cheat,” tweeted, “Just give me a 4,” further emphasizing Trump’s unconventional approach to golf.
Trump has been known to exhibit peculiar behaviors on the golf course. One of these includes not finishing holes, considering putts as gimmes even when they require longer distances. This habit may explain why he often completes rounds in three hours or less. Despite these idiosyncrasies, the video underlines the potential areas where the former President could improve, specifically his short game.
While Trump’s love for golf continues to be a prominent aspect of his life, his recent shot serves as a reminder that even the most experienced players can have off moments. Whether his 2.5 handicap is entirely accurate or not, this video showcases the humor and fascination surrounding Trump’s golf game.
Former President Donald Trump’s recent shot at his Trump National Golf Club in Los Angeles has generated buzz and amusement among golf enthusiasts. While some may find his unorthodox approach to the game entertaining, others may wonder if his handicap truly reflects his abilities. Regardless, this video serves as a lighthearted reminder that even prominent figures can have endearing flaws on the golf course.
