Donald Trump once angrily kicked someone off of his golf course because of what he had written about the US President in his book.

Although he is no doubt one of the busiest men on the planet, Trump regularly finds time to play a round of golf at one of several courses that he owns across America.

The 78-year-old has faced off against the likes of Tiger Woods, Jack Nicklaus and Rory McIlroy and has even hosted several celebrities across his golf courses.

But there is one guest that the US President personally kicked off of one his courses after spotting him playing there.

Back in 1993, American author Harry Hurt III published a biography of Trump, titled 'Lost Tycoon: The Many Lives of Donald J Trump,' and he didn't hold back.

Hurt made a series of brutal claims about Trump, and it's safe to say that the US President wasn't too happy about it as 24 years later, when he approached Trump during a round at the Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida, he was asked to leave.

“I said, ‘Congratulations, sir,’ and shook his hand,” Mr Hurt wrote on Facebook. “Trump said, ‘You were rough on me, Harry. Really rough. That s**t you wrote.’”

Hurt claims he replied: "It’s all true’, to which Mr Trump said, ‘Not in the way you wrote it’.”

Trump, who at the time was just two weeks away from taking office for the first time, was on the practice range when Hurt approached him, but clearly wasn't happy about him being there.

Hurt explained that he returned to his party and informed them that they had to leave before getting his security detail to escort him and friends from the club.

When asked by CNN why he wanted to play at Trump’s course, or why he would shake hands with him, Hurt explained that said he wanted to show respect to the office of the “president of the United States”.

He also added that he had previously encountered Trump when playing at the course, and was wished a “good round” by the politician.
