President Donald Trump's golf game leaves even Hall of Fame athletes in awe.

Since August 2020, former NFL quarterback Brett Favre has been playing golf with Trump and shared his experience in a post on X Monday.

"President Trump is a REALLY GOOD golfer and a competitor," Favre wrote.

In 2020, Favre's golf skills were praised by Trump while they played golf together.

"Brett loves Wisconsin, Mississippi, and Minnesota. He's a good golfer who hits it long!" Trump wrote on Twitter.

On July 25, 2020, the duo performed at Trump's golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey.

"In an interview with Planet Chronicle, Favre stated that he was as pleasant and captivating as he could be, given the stress he was under. However, he emphasized that he always respected the presidency of the United States, regardless of who was in office. If any president from his era had invited him to play golf, he would have eagerly accepted the opportunity, as being asked was an honor, regardless of their beliefs."

At that time, Favre stated that he was highly impressed with Trump's golf skills.

"Favre stated that they had a few holes where they picked up, no score was penciled in, but overall, he can play. He hits the ball well and is a fast golfer. There were times when he had a 140-yard shot, and he was ready to go with his putter at the green."
