President Donald Trump continued to poke fun at former President Joe Biden’s golf game during a Thanksgiving call with members of the military.
One of the NCOs on the call with Trump at the White House asked the 47th president what his “true golf handicap” was, while also asking this:
“Are you and President Biden going to play that golf game?” said the sergeant.

For context, Trump initially took shots at Biden’s golf game during their June 27, 2024 presidential debate in Atlanta. A few weeks later, Trump challenged Biden to a golf match and said he would give $1 million to charity if he lost.
Trump’s response to the NCO was one of confidence, as he quickly said he would “love” to meet Biden at the ties.
“I mean, I’ve invited him, but he won’t show up,” Trump said.

“Look, I know a lot about golf. I’ve won 38 club championships, and I’m not going to practice much. I won one last year. I won a club championship at a big club and beat a 27-year-old kid. I said, you know, I’m decades older than you, but I said, ‘The old fairway you’re not, when he goes up the middle,’ and he doesn’t know how to go up the middle. I’ve been a good golfer through the years.”
Trump added that he is a “very low handicap,” though he did not give a final figure.
“I think I’m very — I’ve got to be right around the bottom or better. I shot a plus-three. That’s three better, three under par. If you look at it for those who don’t know, in the final of the club championship last year, with everything I went through and no practice. So I’m a good golfer.”

Since their infamous 2024 debate, Trump has taken several shots at Biden’s golf game, including a moment while on a driving range with LIV Golf star Bryson DeChambeau and YouTuber Travis Miller. After hitting a drive, Trump joked, “You think Joe Biden can do that?”
Trump has also mocked Biden’s claim that he is a handicap of six.
“He said he’s a six. I said, ‘You’re not a 60.’ He’s not a 60,” Trump said. “So I said, ‘I’ll give you a million dollars if you can break 100.’ If you’re a six, you can easily break 100. But he can’t.”
Last July, Trump also took a stab at Biden’s game when a video of a drive during a round went viral.
“Did you get to see my drive on the first hole? Pretty long, pretty long. That’s no Joe Biden, let me tell you. That’s not Biden, right? That was a good drive,” Trump said.

Trump ended his statement to the NCO on Thanksgiving with a similar shot at Biden.
“You have a lot of people talking, but they can’t play like Biden. Biden can’t hit a ball 30 yards. I’m telling you, I looked at his swing. He can’t hit a ball 30 yards,” Trump said. “He said he was a six handicap. That’s the only thing that pissed me off. During the debate with him, he said he was a six. I said, you’re not a six. And he said, well, I’m an eight. I said it was quick. I took two, but he’s not 100. He’s not 100. But it’s a small game you play, and it’s a small game.”
