Former American president Donald Trump was an avid golfer before, during and after his presidency. He also owns one of the most diverse golf course portfolios in the world.
As a longtime proponent of the game, Trump has rubbed shoulders with numerous golf legends over the years, and many have come to support Trump’s presidential ambitions.
One fan is golf legend Gary Player, who recently revealed to bunkered that he can’t believe some of the attacks that Trump is facing in his quest to return to the Oval Office next year.
“I play golf with him almost every three weeks. He’s a very nice man and the stuff I read about him I can’t believe,” Player said. “I read about the opposition saying ‘he’s going to ruin democracy’. He’s going to improve our democracy, not ruin it.”
The comments came during a long missive about Player sending a letter to the R&A, urging the Open Championship to return to Turnberry, a Scottish property owned by Trump that Player considers one of the former president’s many “great” investments in Scotland.
Player thinks removing the Open from the course was cruel toward Trump, who he considers no different than any other American president.
“Fairness in life. Some might say Donald Trump did… what about every other President? They all did something wrong. Not only Donald Trump.
“Every one of them. It says in the Bible: Forgive us of our trespasses as we forgive them that trespass against us.”
