DeChambeau has given verdict on Donald Trumps | Golf News

When LIV Golf returned to the U.S. with an event at Robert Trent Jones Golf Club close to Washington, D.C. in June, two-time U.S. Open champion Bryson DeChambeau made headlines for far more than his leaderboard place.

In a go to to the White House, he not only hit golf photographs on the South Lawn, but also supplied a surprisingly heat appraisal of President Donald Trump’s golf swing. Trump has just lately come under fire for seemingly mendacity about his {golfing} prowess.

A clip, shared by a White House aide, reveals DeChambeau, who is trying ahead to dealing with off against Rory McIlroy at the Ryder Cup, hanging golf balls from the South Lawn — remodeled into a short-term par‑3 course — touchdown neatly close to the Rose Garden.

“Hitting in the White House was incredibly special,” DeChambeau later mirrored. “I never thought in my life I’d get an opportunity to do that. But the president himself was like, ‘just go out there and hit some shots,’ and I’m like, ‘okay, yes sir.’”

He also had a stunning praise for Trump’s sport: “I admire how straight he hits the golf ball off the tee. It’s pretty impressive. For his age and how well he golfs, it’s admirable that he has the time to take care of the world’s problems and also be as good of a golfer as he is.”

This wasn’t their first {golfing} encounter. In a standard episode of DeChambeau’s YouTube ‘Break 50’ collection, where he makes an attempt to shoot a spherical in fewer than 50 strokes, Trump joined him at Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey.

Their rapport extends past content creation. In December 2017, DeChambeau performed a spherical with President Trump and gifted him a set of golf equipment valued at $750.

In a vital enlargement of his function in public life, DeChambeau has now stepped into authorities service. In July, President Trump signed an government order restoring the Presidential Fitness Test and revitalizing the President’s Council on Sports, Fitness & Nutrition, appointing DeChambeau as chair of the newly reestablished council.

In his new function, DeChambeau has embraced the added duty. He said, “I feel ‘called’ right now to do more than just play competitive golf,” estimating he dedicates “15 to 20% of his days” to these public service efforts.

Among his priorities is modernizing the Presidential Fitness Test with,achievable targets for college students; for instance, motivating kids who “can never do a pull-up” with a tiered award system to acknowledge progress and construct confidence.

The council under DeChambeau’s management also goals to promote neighborhood infrastructure, such as multi-sport complexes in underserved areas, supported through proposed tax incentives.
