The buggy wasn't driven by Trump, but is thought to be his "getaway vehicle" should anyone open fire on the course. The black, obviously armored vehicle followed Trump around as he played golf, with many experts noting that it bore similarities to "The Beast" — Trump's protective vehicle stateside.

A buggy doesn’t do him any good if he’s outside of it taking a swing. If he’s that scared, why is he even out playing golf?

Good question, why does he even play golf when all he does is cheat at it just like he does at everything in his life? My best guess is he is just trying to emulate actual successful people.

He wants to feel like a winner, and it doesn’t matter to him if he’s actually a winner. He’s the biggest, sorest loser in the world, and his ego is just too fragile to admit it to himself.

He "plays golf" because it allows him to have secret meetings with other criminals in the middle of a large, open, and locked down field

He will get his caddy to drop a ball into the hole, and call it a hole-in-one

He has been the same cheater at golf his entire life.

I mean we haven't seen this with other presidents.

He thinks he's good at it

To quote Winston Churchill... a golf course is a waste of a good rifle range...
