When he’s not battling it out against the Democrats in the presidential race, I’m sure Donald Trump would prefer to be on a golf course.
Golf is the number one hobby of the former president of the United States, and it has recently taken him to filming a “Break 50” YouTube video with Bryon DeChambeau, “A great guy.”
Even with the White House slamming the former president’s attack on Kamala Harris identity as ‘repulsive’ and ‘insulting’, he still found time to record a video message to promote the over 50’s “Legends Tour” golf event being played in Scotland, albeit on one of his own golf courses.

The Staysure PGA Seniors Championship hosted by Colin Montgomerie is actually the Legends Tour’s flagship event, and it gets underway today in Aberdeenshire, Scotland on the Trump International Golf Links. Donald’s son, Eric, mainly heads up the golfing aspects of the Trump Organisation.
The video is obviously another “positive” push for both Donald and also gain some traction in the tournament, as the 78-year-old delivered a near-flawless video message.
Admittedly, as he was listing off the professionals he did get them mixed up with the celebrities who play alongside them in this tournament format, “outstanding players, great players.” I’m sure former Westlife band member Brian McFadden would love that compliment!
Trump didn’t manage to dodge this one. Take a look:

As Donald mentioned, teeing it up in the tour’s longest-serving event, is host Colin Montgomerie, Ian Woosnam, John Daly, Michael Campbell, Paul Lawrie to name a few. Monty even hit the opening tee shot to open the golf course back in 2012, “a special guy, and a special player.”
“Big” John Daly, a close friend of Donald and who supposedly hits the ball 360 yards according to Mr Trump… was waxing lyrical about the resort layout. So much so, that the two-time major winner wants to relocate to the Ayrshire coast and “pick up a zip code.” All while rocking a Trump Scotland hat of course!

When the majority of the Legends Tour was bought out by Ryan Howsam, CEO StaySure Group, it has had a major shake-up.
The over 50’s Legends Tour now offers amateur golfers the opportunity to play along the pros and celebrities within the tournament. Howsam obviously has a spot for himself in the Amateur Individual events.
The Celebrities then have their own season-long rankings where they play for the “Charity Celebrity Series”.
This week’s 18-hole stableford event was won by former Scotland goalkeeper Allan McGregor, who has donated £10,000 to his chosen charity the Kilbridge Hospice.
