President-elect Trump hosted PGA Tour champion Dustin Johnson at Trump International Golf Course Wednesday.
Johnson’s brother, Austin Johnson, shared photos and videos of the round in an Instagram post. The footage showed the two brothers watching Trump take some practice swings before he took a healthy stroke and sent the ball flying in a straight line toward the hole.
The crack of contact between Trump’s club and the ball echoed thunderously around the course.
A beauty there, sir,” Austin said. “Right down the middle.”

The sport also plays a big role in the Trump family.
Kai Trump, the 17-year-old daughter of Donald Trump, Jr., posted to Instagram, sharing recent pictures with her grandfather at Trump International Golf Club West Palm Beach, a few miles west of Mar-a-Lago.
“Sundays with Grandpa,” the proud granddaughter captioned the post, adding a heart. The post featured a selfie Kai Trump shared with the president-elect, along with videos she shot on the golf course and a picture with Tesla CEO Elon Musk.

Kai returned to Trump National Golf Club Bedminster to play the front nine of what she said is one of her and her grandfather’s favorite courses. During her round, Kai revealed she recently listened to the many voicemails Trump left her.
“So, yesterday I was going through my voicemails. I saw a few voicemails from my grandpa because, if I call him, he always picks up. But, if he doesn’t — if he’s in an interview or whatever — he’ll call me back, and it’s always at 12 o’clock at night, and, obviously, I’m sleeping at 12,” Kai said with a laugh.
