President Donald Trump talked about his 38 golf club championships this week, and he explained why that might be the case on social media.
The 47th president was spotted on the golf course with LIV Golf star Brooks Koepka, NHL legend Wayne Gretzky and PK Press Club’ Bret Baier in a video posted to Truth Social, where he had a small chip on a green he was lining up.
As the caddy pulled the pin out of the hole, Trump entered his chip after a few repeated movements, and although he didn’t leave the ground, the trajectory of the ball was true.

” Once ! ” said another golfer as Trump and the rest of those on the green watched the ball find its way to the bottom of the cup.
Trump walked away smiling after the nice chip, probably feeling good heading into the next hole.
“Winning is always nice!” Trump captioned his post Truth Social.
TRUMP SAYS BIDEN ‘DON’T WANT TO SHOW UP’ AT GOLF GAME, TAKES JAB AT FORMER PRESIDENT’S MATCH
Trump released the clip after another attack on former President Joe Biden’s golf game on Thanksgiving as he spoke to U.S. service members on a video call.
One of the petty officers in conversation with Trump at the White House asked the 47th president what his “real golf handicap” was.
“Are you and President Biden going to play this golf match?” » asked the master.

For context, Trump initially took photos of Biden’s golf game during their June 27, 2024 presidential debate in Atlanta. A few weeks later, Trump challenged Biden to a golf match, saying he would donate $1 million to charity if he lost.
Trump’s response to the master was a confident one, saying he would “love” to take on Biden on the links.
“I mean, I invited him, but he doesn’t want to show up,” Trump said.
“A lot of people talk, but they can’t play like Biden. Biden can’t hit a ball 30 yards. I tell you, I watched his swing. He can’t hit a ball 30 yards,” Trump said. “He said he was a six handicap. That’s the only thing that made me angry. In the debate with him, he said he was a six handicap. I said, ‘You’re not a six.’ And he said, ‘Well, I got an eight.’ I said, “That was quick.” I picked up two. But he’s not 100 years old. He’s not 100 years old. But it’s a great match, and I hope you can play some of it. »
Trump added that he knows “a lot about golf” and went over his resume on the course.
“I’ve won 38 club championships and I don’t practice much. I won one last year. I won a club championship at a big club, beating a 27-year-old. I said, you know, I’m decades older than you, but I said, ‘The fairway doesn’t know how old you are when you go up the middle, and it’s in trouble.’ I’ve been a good golfer over the years.”

Trump added that he had a “very low disability”, although he did not give a definitive number.
“I guess I’m very… I must be about scratch or better. I batted a plus-three. That’s three better, three under average. If you look, for those who don’t know, in the club championship final last year, with everything I’ve been through and no practice. So, I’m a good golfer,” he said.
