  • The pro-am event was held at Trump's golf course in Bedminster.

  • Donald Trump played with his son and other pros.

  • There was a squadron of golf carts filled with secret service members.

Donald Trump played in a pro-am at his golf course in Bedminster, New Jersey, on Thursday.

The pro-am comes the day before the first round of the third LIV event is set to tee off at Trump National Bedminster, with Trump playing alongside his son Eric as well as a few other players.

There were golf carts as well.

There are lots of golf carts.

As a former president, Trump still gets protection from the Secret Service, who have their own carts to escort him through his rounds.

It was still overwhelming despite the amount of golf carts in my field.

Trump went to the driving range at the beginning of his day. The president's seal and number are on his cart.

Not all golf carts were dedicated to Trump. The players had their own carts, and DeChambeau appeared to have a few members of his team following him to help track his practice round.
