The club mentioned is a private club and is about 30 miles from the White House. Apparently, they played from the blue tees, which measured around 6,800 yards. Trump, as per Graham, made one birdie and two bogeys, along with pars on all other holes. “On the front nine, he shot even par,” Graham revealed.
Trump also made most fairways, acting as a gracious host when he ran out of golf balls.
Furthermore, Graham referred to his swing as nice and compact, which results in accurate drives and consistent irons. Trump’s swing could even be described as athletic, which eventually helps with his game.
“Not one mulligan. Not one,” Graham admitted.

While on the course last month, Trump seems to have shot an ace. “Many people are asking, so I’ll give it to you now, it is 100% true,” Trump said. It happened while at the Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, where Trump was playing with some professionals as well.
