Which president played the most golf

Presidential golf is rarely discussed, but can provide some interesting insights on the men who lead our nation. The president with the most golf rounds under his belt was also the only one to be voted into office via the 27th Amendment: President Franklin D. Roosevelt.

Obama has played the most golf of any president.

President Obama has played the most golf of any president. His golfing is not an aberration, but rather a reflection of the political and cultural moment in which he has lived.

Obama didn’t start playing golf until he was in his 30s, but once he did, he did so regularly as president.

Golf is one of the few sports that is nearly impossible to play without looking like an idiot or at least someone who is not very good at it. Even if you make a decent shot, you are still going to look ridiculous at some point because golf requires you to move your body in ways that are unnatural for most people.

To make matters worse, there are no referees on the course to call out bad shots or poor etiquette. This means that any mistakes you make can be attributed directly to you — unlike other sports where there is at least some chance that others will blame a referee or umpire if they do something wrong.

Trump has played the second-most golf of any president.

President Donald Trump has played the second-most golf of any president, according to a report from CNN.

Trump has spent more than 110 days on the golf course since taking office. The president’s predecessor, President Barack Obama, spent just over 25 days on the course during his tenure.

The report found that Trump has played at least 26 rounds of golf as president, which is less than he spent playing golf as a private citizen. According to his personal publicist, Trump played “hundreds” of rounds per year before becoming president.

Trump has also been criticized for spending so much time on the golf course instead of focusing on issues such as immigration and gun control in the aftermath of mass shootings in Texas and Ohio.

President Donald Trump has played the second-most golf of any president, according to an NBC News report.

Trump has visited his own properties 163 times and played golf at least 94 times since taking office, according to NBC’s tallies. That’s more than twice as many visits to his own properties and more than three times as many rounds of golf as Obama, who played 333 rounds over eight years in office.

At this point in his presidency, Obama had only played 27 rounds of golf.

Trump also spent his 200th day in office at his New Jersey golf club this weekend, marking the first time a president had visited one of his properties on day 200 since George W. Bush went to Camp David after the Sept. 11 attacks in 2001.

Bush 41 and Bill Clinton landed in a three-way tie for third-most golfing president.

Both presidents have been to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. 51 times, but neither has played golf on the White House grounds.

Golf is a favorite pastime among presidents, and Trump is no exception. He’s reportedly spent an estimated $100 million of taxpayer money on his own golf trips since taking office, including trips to his own private clubs in Florida and New Jersey.

Trump has also hit the links with world leaders like Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and South Korea’s Moon Jae-in — who plays golf himself — at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida.

Bush 43 played the fourth least golf.

Bush played golf (or “golfed,” as he would say) during most of his presidency. But as a Republican, he was not a fan of the links. He was also in a wheelchair after an injury suffered during his time as president — and that may have kept him from playing more often. (He also said he didn’t want to play when there were other things going on.)

In 2009, Bush made headlines for golfing with Barack Obama at Andrews Air Force Base in Maryland. The two were photographed together on the course. The meeting was private, but it has been speculated that they discussed healthcare reform while they played. However, Bush later stated that they talked about their families instead of politics or policy issues while they played golf together.

Bush’s successor, Barack Obama, played more than any other president — over 333 times during his eight years in office — but even then he didn’t come close to matching Eisenhower’s record-breaking 1,000 rounds during his presidency alone.

Obama played the most golf of any president, but Trump is on pace to play more than anyone before him when his presidency is up.

As President Trump prepares to head out to his course in Virginia, it’s worth noting that he’s already played more golf than any president since Dwight Eisenhower.

Trump has already visited his golf clubs more than Obama did in eight years, but that’s not the only way he’s outpacing his predecessor. Obama played 333 rounds of golf during his presidency — the most of any president — but Trump is on pace to play more than anyone before him when his presidency is up.

This week, Trump tweeted that he would be “quickly” heading out to Virginia “to play golf (quickly) with Tiger Woods and Dustin Johnson” before returning to Washington DC. He was joined by Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY), who were also at the club on Thursday afternoon.

The White House has been criticized for Trump’s frequent trips out to his own properties, where he has hosted foreign dignitaries and even met with North Korea’s Kim Jong Un last month at Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida.
