‘Golf Force One’: Armored Golf Cart Seen as President Trump Plays Course in Scotland

by

An armored golf cart was seen Saturday as President Donald Trump played a round of golf at his property in Turnberry, Scotland, where he is combining a weekend trip visiting his Scottish properties with (successfully) conducting high stakes diplomacy on trade and other issues. After concluding a trade deal with the European union at Turnberry on Sunday, Trump is scheduled to hold a meeting there with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer on Monday before heading to his property in Aberdeen.

Last September, Trump was the target of an alleged assassination attempt by Ryan Routh while he was playing golf at his course in West Palm Beach, Florida.

Excerpt from the New York Post:

President Trump’s security team has debuted what appears to be a heavily armored golf cart 10 months after a would-be assassin aimed an SKS-style rifle toward him at his West Palm Beach tee resort.

As the president played at the Trump Turnberry course in South Ayrshire, Scotland, this weekend, an imposing, apparently heavily fortified black vehicle followed close behind — with security experts saying it bears all the hallmarks of an armor-reinforced golf cart in the mold of Trump’s official limo, a k a “The Beast.”

Trump drove a standard white golf cart as he played, but the bulky silhouette of the latest addition to his security fleet — which appears to be a modified Polaris Ranger XP — stood out like a sore thumb on the course.

“Just looking at the front windscreen, that looks armored,” said Gary Relf, director of Armoured Car Services, to The Telegraph.

More from the Telegraph, which broke the story (excerpt):

Gary Relf, director of Armoured Car Services, said: “Just looking at the front windscreen, that looks armoured. I’m sitting in an armoured vehicle now. We build armoured vehicles. That does look armoured to me.”

Mr Relf, a former traffic police officer who runs a company providing protective vehicles to wealthy individuals, heads of state and religious leaders, said it could be difficult to spot so-called “auto-armour”, but black banding across a windscreen was usually a giveaway.

“When we armour a vehicle, we take every kind of technical element out, the roof, the seats, the floor, the carpet, and then we put the armouring in, and we replace it all afterwards, so you might never know.

“But the thing that gives it away is the front windscreen.”

As with other armoured vehicles, Mr Trump’s reinforced golf buggy’s windscreen features a black band around it.

Trump was seen driving a regular looking cart, with the armored cart in the pack of carts following him on the course along with a host of other security precautions:
