From White House to the clubhouse! Donald Trump may be known for his politics, but when it comes to golf, he\u2019s still the one calling the shots\u2014especially over his own family.<\/p>\n

The former U.S. President couldn\u2019t help but sing the praises of his 17-year-old granddaughter Kai Trump, calling her a \u201cfantastic golfer\u201d with a \u201cbright future\u201d in the sport\u2014though he cheekily insisted she\u2019s \u201cnot on his level just yet.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kai, daughter of Donald Trump Jr., has already committed to playing collegiate golf at the University of Miami and dreams of turning professional. But while grandpa Don is clearly impressed, he\u2019s not ready to hand over the golf crown just yet.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe\u2019s a scratch player, which is amazing,\u201d Trump said proudly in Kai\u2019s latest YouTube vlog, filmed during a family trip to a UFC event in Miami.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome day she\u2019ll be better than scratch. And some day, she\u2019ll beat her grandfather\u2026 but I\u2019m not sure when that\u2019ll be. It might be a long time!\u201d he laughed.<\/p>\n

Kai, along with brothers Donny (16) and Spencer (12), was seen chatting with the ex-President about her golf game and throwing down the gauntlet for a one-on-one showdown. And while Trump joked about his odds of winning, the teen wasn\u2019t backing down.<\/p>\n

But it hasn\u2019t all been smooth sailing for the young golf prodigy.<\/p>\n

A Rough Round: Kai\u2019s Public Golf Meltdown<\/p>\n

Just weeks ago, Kai suffered a brutal collapse at the elite Sage Valley Junior Invitational, where she carded a shocking 52-over-par finish\u2014landing in last place among the 24-player girls\u2019 field.<\/p>\n

Wearing a Trump-branded hat and shadowed by Secret Service, the pressure was clearly on. She shot 79, 89, and 83, including a stunning 12-shot meltdown over seven holes on the back nine.<\/p>\n

Despite the disaster, her global junior ranking still climbed from 815th to 530th by the end of March.<\/p>\n
