Trump celebrates modest golf win at Bedminster amid sparse audience
Donald Trump claimed a senior championship at his Bedminster course, but the ceremony attracted only a handful of onlookers.
Donald Trump announced a senior golf victory at his Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey, posting a 70-stroke score that beat the course’s projected 72. A ceremony with two large trophies was attended by a modest gathering, captured in circulating video. Trump praised the achievement on Truth Social, claiming talent despite limited practice.
Observers pointed out the win came on his own course and mocked the small turnout. Earlier that weekend he had traveled from Camp David, where he discussed administration matters with cabinet members. While in Bedminster, he also met with U.S. Armed Forces personnel, a moment that drew online criticism for his continued golf attire. The episode underscores his frequent golf outings despite broader presidential responsibilities.
