DONALD Trump's security entourage deployed a highly modified golf buggy to protect the prez from fairway assassins while he played his favourite sport.
The all-black bond-style cart, dubbed Golf Force One, is said to be a $28,000 security fortress that comes with reinforced armour and a bulletproof glass shield.

It was debuted by Trump's security Team as he played a round of Golf at Turnberry in Ayrshire.
The visiting leader took to the historic course after jetting to Scotland on Friday for a five-day trip.
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 - 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 - 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 — this thing was bigger than some of the compact cars you see on the road here.'
Donald Trump blasts 80s chart-topper from golf buggy
DONALD Trump pressed play on an iconic eighties track yesterday as he played golf in Scotland.
The US President teed off his five-day visit with a round at his Turnberry resort, accompanied by a massive security team.
Angry campaigners waved creative signs in Aberdeen and Edinburgh as the American leader enjoyed a round of golf at his luxury Ayrshire resort.
But this didn't get the leader of the free world down as he breezed past them while listening to Billy Joel's 1983 hit Uptown Girl.
Also on President Trump's playlist was Memory from the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical Cats, All Out of Love by Air Supply, Unchained Melody by the Righteous Brothers and Bridge Over Troubled Water by Simon and Garfunkel.
After surviving two assasination attemps - including one that almost took his life - Trump's security team seem to be well-prepared to thwart a third attempt.
The MAGA prez last year survived a dangerous assassination bid while playing golf at the National Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida.
The suspect, who was able to get within 400-500 yards of Trump and even attempted to flee the scene in an SUV has been named as Ryan Wesley Routh, 58.
He was arrested after Secret Service agents saw someone they suspected of aiming a weapon from nearby bushes.

Just two months previously, Trump was left wounded when a would-be assassins bullet nicked his ear as he spoke at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, in July.
Shooter Thomas Matthew Crooks, 20, fired off eight shots from an assault rifle before he was taken out.
A US government spokesman said: 'The US Secret Service employs a variety of tools and resources to safeguard our protectees.
'In order to maintain operational security, the Secret Service does not discuss the specific means and methods used to conduct our protective operations.'
Over the weekend, Trump was seen enjoying golf at Turnberry in Ayrshire.
Hillarious footage showed the moment Trump's golf caddy appeared to drop his ball into a prime spot before he takes his shot.
Trump, 79, was seen being escorted down to the course, with a convoy of 20 other carts following close behind.
The caddies went ahead of the US leader and one appeared to secretly place a golf ball on the ground.
The brash New Yorker - whose mother was born in Scotland - then got out and claimed to have made the shot himself.
One person who watched the footage circulating on X wrote: "Caddy did that so smoothly. Can only imagine how many times he's done it."
"I want to know how he finds caddies to do that for him," added another.
