Boxing icon Oscar De La Hoya has revealed what Donald Trump did seconds into the pair's round of golf.
Trump, the 45th and 47th President of the United States of America, is a keen golfer and owns a fair few golf courses across the country.
The 78-year-old has previously played with a number of high-profile celebrities and professional players, including the likes of Tiger Woods and Samuel L. Jackson.

Jackson, 76, accused Trump of cheating when they played together and ended up receiving a whopping bill following his accusation.
Back in 2016, Mexican boxing legend De La Hoya spoke about the time he played with Trump on the golf course.
De La Hoya was at the Trump National LA course in 2014 and as he was about to start, it was claimed that Trump pulled up in a golf cart and asked to join. De La Hoya obliged and said, “Of course, this is your golf course.”

The former boxer went on to reveal what Trump did immediately after the pair started playing.
As reported by GOLF, De La Hoya said: "First ball. Trump hits off to the water, gets another ball from his pocket. Hits it off to the left, out of bounds. Trump said, ‘Oh, I got another one, just warming up.’
"Another one to the water. Then the fourth ball he hits I know it went to the bushes. But Donald, what he does, he tees off first so he can take off right away. I pipe mine down the middle. So we go off to our ball, and who do we see? Donald Trump, right in the middle of the fairway."

He continued: "As they pulled up, Trump said, 'By the way, I found my first ball, it’s right here'.
"We’re like, ‘OK, yeah,’ we’re cracking up, not in front of his face. Then we go on to a par-3. There’s a big bush right between the tee and the green, so you can’t really see the green — you can see the flag, not the green. Trump hits and we just know it went out of bounds. We know it. He takes off. We get up there and he’s like, ‘Oh, my ball’s right here!’ Three feet away. ‘And by the way, I’m going to pick it up, it’s a gimme.'”
The President has previously discussed his admiration for the sport.
"I often get asked why did I get involved in golf," he told Today's Golfer. "Well, I have friends that are very successful people and they love to garden. And I like to garden too – just in a much bigger way."
