Gary Player on Trump’s golfing abilities
Trump brought along some additional facts by Gary Player to further his point. Player, easily one of the best players the tour has seen, stated that Trump was better than other presidents by at least 20 to 25 shots. Trump disagreed a bit, adding that he thinks that he is better than that, and not just 20 to 25 shots. He further goes on to mention Player as a legendary golfer.
Subsequently, he ended up discussing his trash talk on the course. As per the businessman and former president, he needs to focus and limit his trash talk. “You can talk, and then you can miss the putt and all the talk is no good,” he said.
