KirtFalcon Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 Donald Trump tops ranking of golfing presidents The new commander-in-chief immediately takes over the No. 1 spot in our Golf Digest ranking By The Editors 2nd place is not even close ... KF President Donald Trump will be the 16th of the past 19 American presidents to play golf. And immediately upon entering office he will be the best player of the group, thanks to his current 2.8 Handicap Index and his 19 club championship victories. According to our Jaime Diaz, who twice played golf with Trump in recent years, the best part of his game is his ball-striking, although Trump himself says it's his putting. Trump knocks John F. Kennedy from the No. 1 spot in our previous ranking of the best golf presidents. Here's how our ranking shakes out, with an assist from Don Van Natta Jr., author of the book, First Off the Tee: Presidential Hackers, Duffers, and Cheaters from Taft to Bush. Donald Trump Known for his bombastic statements, his boast of winning 19 club championships isn't one of them John F. Kennedy Despite chronic back pain, averaged 80 Dwight D. Eisenhower Installed a green outside the Oval Office; member at Augusta National Gerald R. Ford Despite a clumsy image, a legitimate 80s-shooter Franklin D. Roosevelt At 39, polio robbed him of a powerful golf swing George W. Bush His handicap dipped under 10, post-presidency George H.W. Bush Once got his handicap down to 11 Bill Clinton Can break 90, especially using his "Billigans" Barack Obama The lefty plays hoops and golf, more than 330 rounds during his two terms. Ronald Reagan Didn't play often or well (best was low 90s) Warren G. Harding Struggled to break 95 William Howard Taft As hapless a golfer as he was a chief executive Woodrow Wilson Played more than Ike but almost never broke 100 Richard M. Nixon He shot 79 once and quit the game Lyndon B. Johnson Played with senators to secure votes for the Civil Rights Act of 1964 Calvin Coolidge When he vacated the White House, he left his clubs behind http://www.golfdigest.com/story/presidentsranking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveTV1 Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 I just think he needs to cut back on his Mar Lago trips. This is the third weekend in a row that he's went down there on the taxpayers $3 million a pop. If he was going to pay for it out of his pocket then fine, but not at our expense. At that rate it will cost $156 million a year for his weekend jaunts. I've read that Obama's trips cost a total of $70-85 million in 8 years. Heck for one trip he could build a golf course at Camp David if he loves to play so much : http://www.amickgca.com/building.htm . Get to work Caesar.

So how is it any different going to Camp David every weekend as opposed to going to Florida???? You read and trust the liberal slanted media far too much it seems, and they are beginning to sway your views.....you should turn them off and go to Breitbart, WND, or Drudge.......before you end up on the streets in a dress protesting for Hillary.......:lol: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not the liberal media, it's wasteful spending. I'll call any and all Presidents out for doing so. Trump doesn't get the carte blanche from me as he has from you. I'm going to call him out on anything I disagree with him on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
