Watch: U.S. President Donald Trump makes a putt at his soon-to-be-open golf course in Scotland

Donald Trump made a bold move when he purchased Scotland's historic Turnberry Golf Resort. During that period, the President of the United States spent approximately £37.5 million (~$60 million) to buy the entire thing from Dubai-based Leisurecorp. Trump made significant investments in the course over the years, and he recently returned to play some shots on it.

NUCLR Golf reported on July 26 that President Donald Trump was not only present at the Turnberry Golf Course, but also playing golf. In a video of Trump making a decent putt on the course, the caption read:

"🚨⛳️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 #WATCH — President Donald Trump drained a putt while playing golf this morning at his course in Turnberry, Scotland."

Donald Trump has invested in this course since 2014, renovating it and turning it into a big resort. He had a definite purpose of preserving the historic course's standing and bringing the Open Championship back to this place. The course has hosted the season's last major four times, the most recent in 2009.

President Trump visited Scotland for the opening ceremony of his resort. While this was not an official presidential trip, Trump met with a number of high-profile figures, including UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer and Scottish First Minister John Swinney.
