President Obama Has Played 57 Rounds Of Golf Since Taking Office

I’m guessing Augusta wasn’t on his list of courses this year though…

From Golf Digest:

An editor at Human Events, Miller has been tracking President Obama’s golf and, via Twitter, reporting on it in the wake of his Hawaii rounds this week and setting in motion a string of commentary that somehow came to include death panels.

“President Obama played golf today in Hawaii, his 56th round since taking office,” she wrote on Tuesday.

A short time later, she posted this: “whoa. third time playing golf in hawaii? if so then I have to adjust my count to 57 for presidency. SERIOUS BUSINESS.”

Then this: “I need to keep my golf tracking up to date. Do you count 56 or 57? I had 52 on Oct 10. Played 2x in DC, 3x”

I know this is going to bother a ton of people, but quite frankly I think it’s pretty cool.  Our president is an active athlete who likes to pursue his passions of golf and basketball.  Sports are a great release from the stresses of everyday life so more power to him for hitting the links so often.  If you’re not down with that then you’re not a sports fan.
