I played golf with him and I like him a lot. He's a good golfer too. He's really great.'Kane said it happened 18 months ago in Florida and is envious of Trump's golf game at the age of 80.'I played alright to be honest, but 18 months ago he invited me to play when I was down in Palm Beach,' the 32-year-old said ahead of England's World Cup quarter-final with Norway on Saturday.'So when the President invites you somewhere, it was a pretty surreal experience just to meet him and obviously play golf with him.'His golf is pretty good, to be honest with you. I hope I can play golf as good as him when I'm his age, that's for sure. A unique experience, but I was just grateful that he invited me to play.'
