Donald Trump is setting the record straight … saying in a statement Monday he did, in fact, sink a hole-in-one while golfing with Ernie Els over the weekend.
“It is 100% true,” the former President said.
Trump released the statement after many on social media accused the 75-year-old and his pals of lying about accomplishing the feat.
According to Trump, he was out on the Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Fla. on Saturday … when he stepped to the tee box on a Par-3 with an iron in his hands.
“I hit a 5-iron, which sailed magnificently into a rather strong wind, with approximately 5 feet of cut,” Trump said, “whereupon it bounced twice and then went clank, into the hole.”

Trump spokesperson Taylor Budowich shared video of the aftermath of the shot … showing Trump and his golfing partners walking up to the cup with joy.
In the clip, you can see Trump grab the ball out of the hole — and high-five everyone in attendance, including Els.
Trump wouldn’t say if the ace helped he and Els beat playing partners Gene Sauers, Mike Goodes, and Ken Duke … but his wry statement sure seemed to insinuate it.
“I won’t tell you who won because I am a very modest individual, and you will then say I was bragging,” Trump said, “and I don’t like people who brag!”
