Donald Trump’s love affair with golf is no secret. The former US President is often seen with his clubs, perfecting his swing on the lush greens. With a portfolio of prestigious courses and a fondness for teeing off with professional golfers, his passion for the game is undeniable. But one particular round stands out in his memory – the time he played with his dad.

Days ago, PGA Memes posted a video on YT captioned, “On The Range with President Trump” to discuss Donald Trump’s rise in the golf world and talk about his game. The 77-year-old was then asked about who influenced him to take up golf, be it his family or friends. He noted, “Not for golf, my father, I played with him once. He didn’t play golf, but he had an unbelievably good swing. I mean, if he played golf, he would have been phenomenal.” That day, Trump discovered his dad’s hidden talent for golf.

Despite Fred Trump, not being a golfer, former POTUS was amazed by his natural talent. He further recalled the reaction he had cherished till now. Trump said, “He had a great swing. I never forgot I said you never played. Are you kidding me? You never played, and he was really good. He could have been really good. But he was a worker then, not a golfer. But if he played golf, I will never forget when I played with him how good the swing he had.”

His eyes lit up when recalling his father’s incredible swing, a memory that has stayed with him for decades. Moreover, his story resonates with golfers of all ages, reminding them that the game is about more than just skill;  it’s about the memories we create, the relationships we build, and the lessons we learn.

At 77, Donald Trump’s accomplishments on the course reflect that he still has the fire inside. His dedication and perseverance have earned him three titles this year. It includes the Club Championship, Senior Club Championship, and Super Senior Championship. It’s surely a remarkable achievement for any golfer, professional or not, let alone one in their 70s. His recent stint with Bryson DeChambeau a.k.a the Scientist proved to be a statement.

Donald Trump’s passion for golf shows no signs of slowing down. His recent participation in the ‘Break 50’ challenge with Bryson DeChambeau garnered attention from enthusiasts worldwide. “This is going to be one of the greatest rounds of golf ever played,” he said in a blast of pre-round trumpeting. And it certainly did. It left a bunch of celebrities far behind who took the Break 50 challenge with DeChambeau. A truly impressive feat, one might say, for the video has now surpassed 12 million views.

Trump’s impressive performance stunned the 2-times major champion.  He praised his iron play and driver swing as told Golf.com, “Man, his iron play was great, 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.”

It seems that Donald Trump’s discovery of his father’s hidden talent all those years ago has come full circle. With one of the most talented pros on the golf scene acknowledging his impressive swing is nothing short of an achievement.
