Trump played with Senator Lindsey Graham and two retired pro golfers, Gary Player and Annika Sorenstam, both members of the World Golf Hall of Fame.
Graham reported that Trump was in good spirits, though he says the president and Player lost the match to Sorenstam and himself.
"We defrocked the Black Knight and the president," said Graham, using a nickname for Player, who has long liked to wear all black on the golf course.
"They beat the hell out of us," Player admitted with a big smile.
The press pool following Trump spoke to Graham and Player briefly on the South Lawn upon the return to the White House. Graham was asked about the president's mood, in light of the Democratic-led House launching a formal impeachment inquiry against Trump.
"This is the most fun I've ever had playing golf with him. It was wonderful," Graham said.
"The president was a charmingly great host, a lot of fun."
The group joined the president for a round at Trump National Golf Club in Sterling, Virginia.
