A writer who slammed Donald Trump in a biography more than 20 years ago claims he was kicked off a golf course by the president-elect last week because he was still upset at his treatment in the book.

Harry Hurt III, who wrote the 1993 book, 'Lost Tycoon: The Many Lives of Donald J. Trump,' detailed his fiery Florida run-in with Trump on Friday.

Hurt accused Trump of booting him and his party - including billionaire Republican mega-donor David Koch - from the Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach after he wandered over to congratulate him on the election win.

'I went up out of courtesy and out of respect for the office of president of the United States,' he told CNN.

'The last time I had seen him was the Saturday before Easter in 2015 at the same golf course with my friend David Koch. We were chatting on the putting green, it was the first time I'd worn knickers and made a joke about it, and Donald laughed and he said, "I hope you enjoy the golf course."

'I went up to him in the spirit of the United States of America and said, 'Congratulations, sir'. And then he launched into a diatribe that I had been rough on him, he used an expletive to describe the content of my book.

'I looked him in the eye and I said, "it's all true", and he said, "not in the way you said it, I can't believe why you are here."

In kicking Hurt off his course (Trump is pictured at the Trump International Golf Club on November 14, 2007), Trump also sent mega-Republican donor David Koch packing - as he was playing in the author's group

'I said, "well I came with David Koch," and he said: "I think it's inappropriate for you to play here and I want you to leave."'

Hurt's joke during their previous on-course meeting was a reference to the bright attire he wears on the course. During his CNN interview, he was wearing an all-pink outfit.

He went on to say Koch was 'appalled' by the incident, before taking a shot at Trump's course. Hurt said after they received the boot, his group instead played a 'much better golf course' at Emerald Dunes.

The incident took place after Trump ditched his press pool to travel to the course on Friday.

A member of Trump's transition team confirmed the incident, adding Trump said to Hurt, 'you're out of here,' Politico reports.

The president-elect's fury at Hurt could be linked to the fact the author's book included an allegation that Trump had raped his ex-wife Ivana - based off comments she made.

Ivana has since recanted her claim, which she made in documents during divorce proceedings from the Donald.

She has said that while she did feel 'violated' during the marriage, she did not mean for her words to be taken literally.
