It sounds like President Barack Obama is getting pretty decent at golf By Kyle Porter | Golf Writer January 5, 2015 3:56 pm ET

President Barack Obama has been playing quite a bit of golf recently, and his scores are reportedly reflecting this.

According to the New York Times, Obama is consistently shooting sub-90s scores, which is probably what he should be shooting given that he's played 214 rounds since he was elected in 2008.

In August, he even almost broke 80 (a personal best).

"Had an 80 last week," Mr. Obama said, adding that he had a "15-foot putt for 79. I was feeling pretty good. I missed it by about that much."

One of Obama's golf buddies said he doesn't give himself any gimmes and is fun to play with.

The other day I had a miserable game of golf. I only hit two good balls all day and that happened when i stepped on a sand trap rake.

“Had an 80 last week,”

Probably a par-three course.

LMAO. Those comments by Obama about his golf game are about as credible as the ones about the cost of your health insurance premiums. My seventy something year old wife could beat him playing from the men’s tees.

Well, he ought to be. He’s spent more of our money golfing than probably anyone in history.

Instead of gimmes, he probably makes his caddy fudge the numbers like that big shot who made Beaver take strokes off of each hole.

I am so glad I could help Zerohisseff improve his golf game...and in some pretty exotic places too! Places I’ll probably never get to see.

Because he takes the money from me and uses it on hisseff.

I am so freakin proud...da bastid.
