Former President Donald Trump showed he's still got the magic touch on the golf course.

As the ball sailed through the air, it zeroed in on the green and, in a moment that made everyone watching gasp, it struck the flagstick. "Oh my god, it hit the pin!" Don Jr. exclaimed. The video captures the anticipation and excitement that only golf can bring, as Trump came tantalizingly close to a walk-off ace.
At the end of the video, Trump, in a manner only he can pull off, asks, "Do you think I'm a great golfer?" His voice carries the trademark confidence and charisma we've come to expect. The reply, amidst the laughter and chatter, gets lost in the shuffle, but the admiration is clear. Chloe, Trump's granddaughter, had a delightful reaction, which Don Jr. pointed out as one of surprise at her grandfather's impressive display.
This clip is a fantastic snapshot of golf among family and friends, and it's evident that Trump has retained his touch on the golf course. His ball striking is as pure as it gets for a man of his age (78), and his passion for the game shines through.
The gem of a video follows Trump's recent outing with pro golfer Bryson DeChambeau, which almost broke the internet. The duo teamed up for a new episode of Bryson's 'Break 50' series on YouTube. In this series, DeChambeau aims to play eighteen holes in under 50 strokes from the red tees—the furthest-forward tees—alongside a high-profile guest. You can read more about that event here:
