LONDON, July 11 — England captain Harry Kane has described playing a round of golf with United States (US) President Donald Trump as “a pretty surreal experience”, reported PA Media/dpa.
Trump revealed earlier this week that the pair had played together, telling reporters: “I think Kane is a great player. I played golf with him and I like him a lot. He’s a good golfer too. He’s really great.”
Kane said the game took place about 18 months ago in Florida and admitted he was impressed by Trump’s golfing ability despite the president being almost 80 years old.
“I played alright to be honest, but 18 months ago he invited me to play when I was down in Palm Beach,” the 32-year-old said ahead of England’s World Cup quarter-final against Norway on Saturday.
“So when the president invites you somewhere, it was a pretty surreal experience just to meet him and obviously play golf with him.”
“His golf is pretty good, to be honest with you. I hope I can play golf as good as him when I’m his age, that’s for sure.”
“A unique experience, but I was just grateful that he invited me to play.” — Bernama-PA Media/dpa
