A less-than-stellar golf shot from former President Donald Trump has taken the internet by storm. A video capturing the unfortunate shank at his Los Angeles golf course has been widely circulated.

The footage shows Trump lining up for what appears to be a straightforward shot, but the outcome is far from ideal. The ball takes a sharp, unexpected turn, landing well off target near a bunker and some bushes. The person filming the incident can be heard commentating on the shank, adding to the viral nature of the clip.

While Trump's official handicap is listed as a respectable 2.5, he hasn’t updated his score in the USGA GHIN system since 2021. Some, like former LPGA golfer Annika Sorenstam, estimate his handicap to be closer to 10. Regardless of the exact number, this errant shot serves as a reminder that even experienced golfers have their off moments.

Trump’s ongoing involvement in the golfing world is well documented. He recently expressed his support for the agreement between the PGA Tour and LIV Golf, calling it “GREAT NEWS” on Truth Social. His golf courses continue to host LIV events, including the upcoming tournament at his Bedminster, NJ club in August and the championship at his Doral course in Miami later in the year.
