US President Donald J. Trump ’s first 100 days in office have been unlike any other.
How has his tenure equated with that of the preceding three presidents?
We observed at how frequently they golfed.
Here is how they measure up:
Golf Outings
2017 | Donald J. Trump | 19 |
2009 | Barack Obama | 1 |
2001 | George W. Bush | 0 |
1993 | Bill Clinton | 7 |

Barack Obama’s golf outings were added preferred target of Trump’s before he took office, besides Trump once said that, as president, he was “not going to have time to go play golf.”
“Barack Obama played golf yesterday. Now he heads to a 10 day vacation in Martha’s Vineyard. Nice work ethic,” Trump tweeted on 15th of August, 2011.
“President Barack Obama’s vacation is costing taxpayers millions of dollars—-Unbelievable!,” Trump tweeted on 5th of January, 2012.
Once in office, Trump evidently found more time than his predecessors had.
