In the flood of stories about how people close to President Trump sought to leverage their relationships for personal gain earlier this year, one story didn’t attract as much attention as it might otherwise have.
That was the story about how Republican Party fundraiser Elliott Broidy, then already in the news for a more titillating reason, had allegedly tried to deliver a prized encounter for one of his clients. Broidy’s private defense company was seeking a contract with the government of Malaysia and its prime minister, Najib Razak. Apparently, to build a better relationship with Najib, Broidy attempted to set up a round of golf between Najib and Trump, appealing directly to the president in June of last year. Trump, Broidy said in an email to White House Chief of Staff John F. Kelly earlier this year, was happy to do it.
When Najib came to the United States in September, no round of golf was played, perhaps because the prime minister was under investigation by the Justice Department for corruption.
What’s remarkable, though, is that if Najib had joined Trump at Bedminster that weekend, we might not have known whether the two played golf. On 110 days of his presidency, Trump has traveled to a golf course and spent several hours there. On a handful of occasions, he or the White House or his golf partners have revealed/admitted that he was playing golf. On most occasions, they haven’t — and the question of who joined him for his hours-long foray around the course is a mystery.
On the chart below, all of Trump’s known or assumed rounds of golf are indicated. Those in red are ones for which we know or, in dark gray, believe we know who joined him as he did so.

I certainly think that Trump playing golf as often as he can is preferable to Billy Clinton harassing & sexually attacking women of all ages, many of which were provided for him by the Arkansas State Police.
He soiled himself on Twitter when Felonia got curb-stomped by President Trump in 2016.
This is their idea of fair and balanced. They were so lenient on Obama, that now they have to make up for it by being hostile to Trump. They’ll see the error of their ways the next time a Dem is president.
We want to bring Donald Trump down, as this rag did to Nixon. We have nothing on him, so we want you to make up stories about Trump’s golfing partners so that we can publish them and start another media obsession and get Trump impeached.
Doesn’t that guy there, on the left, look Russian?
F*ck you, post.
I’m guessing his friends, family, and people he wants to do business with/entertain. Didn’t he play with some visiting head of state?
Lots of work done/friendships forged on the course.
And not bugged.
Most of them would probably enjoy it..
This is easy.
Dear WaPo,
Donald Trump was playing golf with; Danny Noonan, Carl Spackler, Al Czervik, Spaudling Smails, Tony D’Annunzio and Lacy Underall.
Just Jeff Bezos doing what he can to help the resistance.

Wow. Did the Washington Post ever care how much time Obama spent “playing golf”? Was Michelle ever with him when he was washing his balls with other men on the greens?
Of course, we’ll never know.
