Donald Trump was blasted by fans after making a wild claim about his golf credentials.
While the 45th president of the United States how been a powerhouse in the golfing circuit for owning several courses across the nation, it comes as no surprise that Trump has played his fair share of rounds.
Speaking to PGA Memes, Trump boasted about winning a club championship against younger players.
‘I mean, I just won the club Championship in Palm Beach, where we have 21 scratch players,’ Trump claimed. ‘I won the seniors. And I played so well in the seniors, I said, ‘Might as well play in the regular and I beat kids.”
‘We had 21 scratch players and I won. You can’t do that easy. A lot of people can’t play in club championships. The club championship is our major and they can’t handle the pressure,’ he continued.
Donald Trump was blasted after making an outrageous claim about his golfing ability
The claim was met with negative reactions on social media as users called him out for lying about his ability on the course.
‘I sincerely think that if more people understood the golf handicap system, this claim would be treated as the most scandalous lie he’s ever told,’ one user wrote. ‘Just so far out of the realm of possibility that it would offend the masses’
‘It’s very likely he’s a good golfer but he’s obviously not this good and it’s so weird he lies about it,’ another chimed in.
‘He’s out of breath just lying about golf,’ a third quipped.
While many called bluff on Trump’s claims, the former US President has showcased his skill level with the clubs.
After his recent appearance on the Break 50 web series, LIV Golf star Bryson DeChambeau praised Trump’s iron game.
‘Man, his iron play was great,’ DeChambeau said. ‘I can’t tell you the number of times he stuffed it on the green within 30 feet of regulation.
‘His driver swing is the most repeatable thing I have ever seen. I wish mine was that repeatable. Really, I do.’
