What is Kai Trump's handicap?

In her statement, shared on her father's Instagram, Kai specifically thanked her family for their support as she honed her golfing skills.

"I would like to thank my mom, Vanessa, and my dad, Don, for always supporting me through my journey ... I would like to thank my grandpa for giving me access to great courses and tremendous support," the caption reads.

Beginners traditionally average anywhere from 20 to 36 for their handicap, really showcasing the number of hours Kai spent on Donald's course.
