President Trump, 79, played a round of golf at Trump Turnberry in Scotland. He played with his son, Eric Trump – who runs his golf course businesses – and a U.S. Ambassador. President Trump played nine holes, had lunch and then played the back nine.
However, video of President Trump’s poor golf etiquette has gone viral on social media.
Fox News shared a video of President Trump sinking a putt on the green, though he walked off without picking his ball out of the cup.

That’s improper golf etiquette.
What could be the reason for that?
Here are three possible reasons.
1. His caddie told him not to
President Trump is clearly playing with a caddie, like the rest of the people in his group. It’s possible that President Trump’s caddie told him that he would take care of everything on the course during the round, letting the leader of the United States just focus on his drives, strokes and putts.
The caddie clearly goes to pick up the ball from the cup, so maybe that was the plan all along.

Still, it’s rare to see that, as even top players on the PGA Tour will pick up their made putts.
2. He can’t bend over that much
President Trump is out on the golf course, so he’s still in OK shape, but maybe he can’t do much bending over. Perhaps the President of the United States would risk injuring himself – or simply falling over – by trying to pick the golf ball out of the cup.
While many of his critics would love to see that, President Trump is clearly going to do what he can to avoid it.

And maybe that includes not picking up golf balls from cups.
3. He simply forgot
We only saw one of President Trump’s made putts on Sunday. Perhaps, in the excitement of the made putt, President Trump simply forgot to pick the ball out of the cup following his drained putt.
