TaylorMade Company in America manufactured them and they inscribed ‘D.Trump’ inscribed on them. Additionally, these are old golf clubs before Donald Trump changed these engravings to ‘DJT1’.

RR Auction is putting these golf clubs up for auction and is hoping to fetch a price of around $ 30000 from the clubs.

The new golf controversy

A video has surfaced which shows Donald Trump driving his golf buggy across the putting green area of one of his golf courses during one of his third week of June 2017 weekend trips.

The golf course is in Bedminster, NJ, and shows him driving across the green to give his golf partner a putter.

Additionally, he is telling the person who is filming him:

“I have the best security in the history of golf.”

When enquired about his hitting, Donald Trump says:

“Good until this hole.”

The global golfers are shocked and horrified at viewing this video posted on social media.

More controversies on Donald Trump’s golf courses

Donald Trump’s Company, Trump Golf owns 18 golf courses worldwide. The Bedminster golf course will host the US Open Women’s Tournament from 13^th -16^th July 2017.

Trump’s son, Eric is in charge of overseeing the interests of the Golf Company. Donald Trump spends a lot of time at these golf courses and has been heavily criticized for it.

He will be on the NJ golf course again on 4^th July 2017. He has visited the golf courses 28 times since he took over as the US President and played 17 rounds of the game since then.

Donald had commented on Barack Obama enjoying sports during the latter’s Presidency. But he is doing the same things and more now?

Last year, Trump said that once he becomes President he would not be able to visit his golf courses. He had said:

“You know what — and I love golf — but if I were in the White House, I don’t think I’d ever see Turnberry [in Scotland] again. I don’t think I’d ever see Doral again — I own Doral, in Miami. I don’t think I’d ever see many of the places that I have,”

And, he had added:

“I don’t ever think that I’d see anything. I just wanna stay in the White House and work my ass off, make great deals, right? Who’s gonna leave? I mean, who’s gonna leave?”

He has retracted from his promise and is seen more on the golf courses than expected out of the US President. It has been reported that eight of Trump’s golf resorts have displayed framed fake Times magazine covers. They have fabricated their own Times Magazine covers and portrayed Donald Trump on it with the headline:

The President’s spokespeople have refused to comment on this issue. The Magazine has asked Trump Organization to remove these framed fake covers.

His critics are however having the last laugh! It has been learned from two top hotel executives anonymously that the fake covers have been removed from some of the golf courses. However, they did not want to say where the fake covers have gone.

The President seems to be gathering controversies both on the course and off the course!
