While the president was seen driving a standard white-framed buggy around the course, a unique buffed-up cart followed his fleet of 28 vehicles.
It is said to be a modiefied Polaris NorthStar Edition which has been fitted with hardened tinted windows and reinforced panels.
The vehicle, which can sit six people, is believed to have state-of-the-art security protection â including smoke screens, electrified door handles and armoured plates.
Gary Relf, director of Armoured Car Services, The Telegraph : “ust looking at the front windscreen, that looks armored.
“The windscreen is a giveaway, as are the side panels, doors and the large panel at the rear above the load tray.”
Experts say the jet-black tinted windows indicate layers of protective laminate â typically used to prevent bullets in case of a shootout.
Mr Relf added that it was likely the modifications would be designed to keep the vehicle as secure as possible while remaining lightweight enough to avoid damaging grass on the course.
The all-wheel-drive mini beast comes with a twin Cylinder dual overhead cam engine that can reach upto 65mph.
A source told The Scottish Sun: “Trump was zipping between holes on a regular cart with this huge thing following behind.
“His bodyguards were staying close and were ready to zoom off if he had to dive in.
“The cart is an amazing bit of kit.
“It has massive chunky tyres, what looked like a winch on the front and even has space at the back for his clubs.
“Americans love their motors and Trump seems no different â this thing was bigger than some of the compact cars you see on the road here.”
After surviving two assasination attemps â including one that almost took his life â Trump’s security team seem to be well-prepared to thwart a third attempt.
