The 79-year-old President of the United States spent some time at his golf course in Northern Virginia. President Trump played with some U.S. Senators and key Washington, D.C. figures, ahead of the Fourth of July holiday week.
“As the Senate wrestled with whether to begin debate on President Donald Trump’s megabill, a few key Republican allies spent part of the afternoon golfing with the president at his nearby club in Northern Virginia,” USA TODAY wrote.Â
“Trump, CIA Director John Ratcliffe and GOP Sens. Eric Schmitt of Missouri, Rand Paul of Kentucky and Lindsey Graham of South Carolina played golf a few hours before the Senate voted to debate the so-called ‘Big Beautiful Bill.'”
President Trump has spent a lot of time on the course as of late. But what is his actual handicap?

Legendary PGA Tour star Jack Nicklaus has said that Trump loves golf “more than he loves money.”
President Trump has been nicknamed the “golfer-in-chief.” He’s only been playing since college, though. It was not a sport he played while he was young.
“I played golf with my friends, and then I started to play with the hustlers. And I learned a lot. I learned about golf, I learned about gambling. I learned about everything,” Trump told Golf Digest.
President Trump has clearly taken to the sport in his older years, as he still hits up the course several times per month. Clearly, his game is better for it, as a handicap of 2.8 is extremely impressive for anyone, but certainly someone approaching 80 years old.
