That was a great video. Very endearing.

Of course, not every shot was recorded. You seldom see the President putt out.

He's an amazing golfer all things considered. He's just not a scratch golfer. I think he officially claims a 2.8 handicap, which would be amazing if true.

I don't know many people who can keep up with a college-level golfer. Doing that while pushing 80 is impressive.

For 78, he has a decent swing.

The putting stroke is not classic, but the ball goes in sometimes.

I would guess that in reality, President Trump is about a 10or so index which is decent golf.

Trump is not keeping up with any college golfer in the top 100 of WAGR.

You responded to my comment about keeping up with a college-level golfer to talk about WAGR ratings, like that changes something. It's a goalpost shift, at best.

And on that video there is him commenting to her “good of you to play your first ball”. So both were likely playing a round of individual best ball.

No it is not. WAGR is one of the ways you measure college golfers. The 100 ranked amateur has a handicap of +5.1. Trump is not keeping up with that.
