Donald Trump has never been one to shy away from boasting about his golf abilities.
He has claimed several amazing feats and dubious championships throughout the years despite being a respectable golfer, especially among his age group.
But Trump’s newest boast is claiming to have hit a hole-in-one in front of golf legend Ernie Els.
Trump released a statement to reporters since he’s banned from most social networks.
“Many people are asking, so I’ll give it to you now, it is 100% true,” Trump wrote.
“….on the 7th hole, which was playing 181-yards into a slight wind. I hit a 5-iron, which sailed magnificently into a rather strong wind, with approximately 5 feet of cut, whereupon it bounced twice and then went clank, into the hole. These great tour players noticed it before I did because their eyes are slightly better, but on that one hole only, their swings weren’t.”
Trump said Els witnessed the feat.
“Anyway, there’s a lot of chatter about it, quite exciting, and people everywhere seem to be asking for the facts. Playing with that group of wonderful, talented players was a lot of fun. The match was Ernie and me (with no strokes) against Gene, Mike, and Ken. I won’t tell you who won because I am a very modest individual, and you will then say I was bragging—and I don’t like people who brag!”
It’s hard to give Trump’s version of events full credence without video evidence or Els speaking publicly about witnessing it. But if Trump did hit it true like he said, it’s certainly an amazing feat.
