Some here are questioning Trump's need to play golf..

so frequently... like today...."How does he have the time when so much is going on?" ..

Well, I'll tell you: His handicap is pretty good: around a 12.makes him a very good golfer ..
In essence, its the only thing in his life that he does well.

However his mental Handicap? Beyond Repair...Way Fucking Beyond Repair.

He should quit politics immediately..before his impeachment and stick to golf

No doubt I have shot some good rounds.

Handicap takes course rating into play. A solid day on an easier course translates into a good round.

Malignant Narcissist tend to find a safe area when they are under scrutiny by someone or something they can not control. Donnie the Clueless runs to his overrated Golf Clubs to be with people he can totally control and berate without reprisal to himself.

To hear his toadies tell it. Strangely enough, though, there's no video of Trump draining a three-pointer like there is of President Obama sticking the outside J.

I don't even know what a handicap is. But the idea of Trump cheating at anything is completely believable.

But what else is new? He cheats on his wives/girlfriends. He cheats in business. He cheats people out of money he owes them. He has cheated the American people out of the person who rightfully should have won. So what's A little cheating at golf? Just another day on the links for tRump.

...on every frikken golden, gourmet golf outing of their republican Draft-Dodger-in-Chief? I mean, he claims he's a frikken billionaire. Can't he pay for his own gourmet goofy golf?

Why do republicans make American taxpayers foot these outrageous bills? We have other Americans in dire need, and republicans are squandering our tax dollars on frippery & frills for their freaking dotard billionaire moron.

Since Trump has been president, he golfs only on courses he owns. He stays only in hotels he owns. He charges the Secret Service for the use of his own property - at full rack rate.

If in 2019, a possible Democratic majority were to convince enough Republicans to help provide a veto-proof majority on a bill requiring any president who owns golf courses, hotels, resorts or other lodging to comp the government for all rooms, golf carts and other facilities used while the president is in residence, and to provide meals at the restaurant's cost plus five percent overhead, Trump would resign the next day.

Then that's what he should charge. If not, he can't stay there.

until he dies? I figure it will as he'll have residual Secret Service protection after he leaves the White House.

When President Obama played golf, the vast majority of the rounds he played were on the course at Joint Base Andrews, a 7minute ride away on Marine One.

No extravagant Secret Service detail needed and he was right there in DC at no extra expense to the taxpayers

Presidents work on vacation and while playing golf. In Trump's case, we are probably better off. It's not like he's going to solve problems sitting at his desk or golfing.

I want him in jail where he can never even see a golf club again, and when that happens I want to see his favorite clubs in a pile.

Broken and on fire.
