Does Donald Trump play more golf than the pros? These calculations say yes
In the United States, there is a lot of controversy surrounding President Donald Trump's relationship with golf. On his day, the current president turned this sport into one of his main weapons against former President Barack Obama, whom he accused of dedicating more hours to golf than to the country's problems. Trump assured that he would not have time to play, but it seems that he is a long way from fulfilling his promise.
The White House announced on Monday that the president was playing with golfer Fred Funk and his son at the Trump International Golf Club, the course of the businessman and president in West Palm Beach (Florida). Kyle Griffin, a journalist for NBC, assured on his Twitter account that this is the 91st day that Trump has played golf since he took office as president.
As the @VC606 account points out, famous among golfers and fans for its predictions of the world ranking, the average number of laps that the world Top 50 has played in that time interval is 90. Come on, since Trump assumed the presidency there would have been played more than those who make a living from golf.
It is not easy to know exactly how many laps the president has played, since he has residence in several of his fields and takes the opportunity to hold some political meetings there. The Trump Golf Count website counts 88 visits to golf courses and ensures that in at least 43 of them there is evidence that he was playing. According to this website, Trump's golf hobby has cost Americans more than $43 million so far.
