Former President Donald Trump recently shared equal parts shock and disgust at the purported golf handicap of President Joe Biden via Media Ite.
Trump, who is Biden’s likely opponent in a 2024 presidential election rematch recently spoke at a rally in Rapid City, South Dakota on Friday night. He was endorsed by Governor Kristi Noem. At one point, Trump claimed Biden once said his handicap is six, which means he shoots six over par on average – an excellent score for a non-professional.
“He makes up these stories,” Trump told the crowd. “This guy. The worst is, did you ever see his golf swing? Trump asked the crowd. He said he’s a six handicap!”
The former president’s voice reached an uncharacteristically high pitch, suggesting sheer disbelief.
“Six handicap’s a good golfer!” he continued. “You know what, these six handicaps, that’s a good golfer. This guy can’t hit the ball to Kristi. He’s a six handicap! I think that’s the greatest lie, if you wanna know the truth.”
According to Golf Digest, the handicaps of various presidents were ranked last year. Joe Biden’s handicap was ranked at 6.7, while Donald Trump’s was ranked at 2.8. However, it is unclear how the handicaps were determined. Based on personal observations, both handicaps seem to be generous, although Trump is likely the more skilled golfer.
It does not appear Biden has publicly offered a handicap.
Biden, 80, is running for reelection and is set to coast to the nomination. Though he has more rivals challenging him for his party’s nomination, Trump, 77, is the runaway frontrunner in the Republican field.
