Former US President Donald Trump’s love of golf is well known and he did indeed challenge one of his Los Angeles area golf courses this week, but judging by the quality of his game he still has some progress to make.
A 20-second video sequence posted online by a local golfer and broadcast by specialist Twitter account NUCLR GOLF shows the former White House tenant attempting to take a shot. He was closing in a few dozen feet, his ball parallel to the target, right at the bottom of a gentle slope.

But under the eyes of the many people accompanying him, especially to ensure his safety, Trump literally botched his attack, landing way too far to the right of a sand pit near the trees. However, history does not say whether the 77-year-old was able to pull himself together after this somewhat embarrassing attempt.

But whoever wants to challenge Joe Biden in the 2024 presidential election has already boasted about his slight 2.8 golf handicap.
