    As a private citizen, Donald J. Trump was repeatedly critical of President Obama’s fondness for relaxing with a round of golf.

    “Can you believe that, with all of the problems and difficulties facing the U.S., President Obama spent the day playing golf.” Mr. Trump tweeted on Oct. 13, 2014. “Worse than Carter.”

    “We pay for Obama’s travel so he can fundraise millions so Democrats can run on lies,” he said a day later. “Then we pay for his golf.”

    Then for a third time that month, Mr. Trump tweeted about Mr. Obama’s golf habit on Oct. 23, 2014.

    As a president, though, Mr. Trump seems to have had a change of heart about the appropriateness of a president hitting the links.

    Golf on the Lord's Day?
    Does he attend a Gospel church?

    Hmmm, why doesn't someone set up a golf match between Trump, Obama, Bush and Clinton and see how turns out.

    Obama said he has a handicap of 13.

    Trump said last fall that his handicap is 2.8. [Frankly I do not believe that for a New York minute. The Golf News Net is probably right when it suggests that Trump is a reverse sandbagger.

    Also Trump says he can drive the ball 285 yards. That also is very suspect for a 70 year old overweight man. The median distance for a golf pro is 289.8. I find it very hard to give credence to Trump being able to drive within 4 yards of the median for pros. At 70? No way.

    You can check this and other average distances at: http://blog.golfsmith.com/tour-news...yards-per-club-for-a-pro-golfer/#.WKIF2vkrIdU

    Is it legalistic to worship our Saviour God, our Lord Jesus Christ on the Lord's Day?
    It is our delight to meet with our family in Christ on the Lord's Day.

    Trump has now been golfing 12 times in the 9 weeks he's been President.

    Who are his partners? What is his average? Does he have a handicap (please be kind, if possible).

    I have designed and written a golf handicap determination system, maybe I can help.

    Donald Trump made a Sunday visit to his Trump National Golf Club, Washington, D.C., in Ashburn, Va., on Oct. 8. The visit marked the 70th time the 45th President has visited one of his 17 golf clubs (and, for most of them, presumably played some golf) since becoming President on Jan. 20, 2017.

    According to pool reports, Trump arrived to the club around 11 a.m., and he appears set for his second round of golf of the weekend.

    Through Sept. 23, Trump is now on an 8-year pace of 759 days at his golf clubs. Trump has spent nearly 25 percent of his days in office at one of his golf properties for some portion of the day.

    How many times has President Donald Trump played golf while in office?

    As the OP of this thread is now banned I am closing it to further comment. (Not to mention we are resurrecting an 8 month old thread.
