\u00a0US President Donald Trump has added two new trophies to his collection after winning the club and senior championships at his golf course in New Jersey.<\/p>\n

Trump, aged 80, recorded an improbably low score of 70, two under par, at Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster over the weekend, according to “The Sun<\/a>“. The win brings his declared tally to more than 40 overall.<\/p>\n

Footage on social media captured the US President soaking up warm applause in front of the club’s leaderboard after the round, with a caption confirming he had claimed two prizes for his performance.<\/p>\n

Par at Bedminster is set at 72. That means Trump claims he finished the match two shots under to secure the double win.<\/p>\n

His 70 came a year after the White House published a scorecard claiming Trump had shot 69, three under par, in the same annual tournament in 2025 to win by 10 shots overall.<\/p>\n

Cameras caught Trump visiting troops during his trip to New Jersey, though observers noticed he was still wearing his golf glove while greeting the military personnel.<\/p>\n

One user of the site “X” wrote, in response to a video clip: “Wearing a golf glove. What disrespect!”.<\/p>\n

Another added: “I think he wears his golf shoes and driving glove wherever he goes…???”<\/p>\n

An enthusiastic golfer, Trump has long boasted about his prowess on the course, declaring: “I have played a lot, and I have played well. There are very few people who can beat me at golf”.<\/p>\n

His record of achievements and declared results, though, has raised the doubts of critics and sports journalists over the years.<\/p>\n

Sports writer Rick Reilly, author of a book on Trump’s golfing habits, questioned the legitimacy of his club championship wins, once stating: “When it comes to cheating, he is an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10”.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u00a0US President Donald Trump has added two new trophies to his collection after winning the club and senior…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":45543,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[44,2001],"class_list":["post-45542","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-news","tag-golf","tag-usa"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/45542","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=45542"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/45542\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/45543"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=45542"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=45542"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=45542"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
