Donald Trump‘s love for golf is unconditional and that is one of the reasons why the former US President is often seen hitting the ranges at various golf courses. There was an instance back in August 2023, when he reported shooting a round of 67 to win the Senior Club Championship. But does the 77-year-old presidential candidate have the skills to defeat pro golfers? Well, a Trump-endorsed Congressional candidate and former White House aide, Brian Jack, just claimed that the former POTUS had already achieved that feat.
During a rally in Rome, Jack asserted that the former US President shot a round of 70 beating two pro golfers. His comments came tackling the former POTUS’s counterpart late Kim Jong Il, who reportedly shot 11 hole-in-ones in one round. However, the former White House Aide did not mention when and where Trump beat the two pro golfers. As quoted by Media ITE, Jack said,
“I’m not sure if I should say this. But just a few weeks ago, President Trump put to shame two professional golfers. I ain’t gonna mention their names, but just know he shot a 70 on 18 holes.”

Trump’s interest in golf once led his Bedminster-based golf course to host the PGA Championship in 2022. However, after his supporters stormed the US Capitol in 2021, the PGA Tour decided not to host any of its events on his courses. The said course did host the LIV Golf Bedminster for two consecutive years in 2022 and 2023.
When Donald Trump claimed to shoot 67 for a win at the Senior Club Championship
In August 2023, the former US President took to his social media to announce that he had won the Senior Club Championship at Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster. The 77-year-old reported scoring a round of 67 to win one of the many club events he had already had his name on. In his post, the former US President wrote,
“I am pleased to report, for those that care, that I just won the Senior Club Championship (must be over 50 years old!) at Bedminster (Trump National Golf Club), shooting a round of 67” As Trump concluded his post, he wrote, “For some reason, I am just a good golfer/athlete – I have won many Club Championships, and it is always a great honor!”
JUST IN: Donald Trump reports he won the Senior Club Championship at @TrumpBedminster, firing a round of 67. He says some will question his score but says there ‘no hanky/lanky’ and his score is % legit. pic.twitter.com/zvp3z52lWz

Donald Trump has a 2.8 handicap score, which means the former US President has some great skills. His claim of being ‘no hanky/lanky’ would require more proof. It will be interesting to see if the 77-year-old comes out to give evidence for the same!
