WILMINGTON, Del. (AP) — President Joe Biden has taken his first swing at a presidential pastime: golf.
Biden, once an avid golfer, played Saturday at the Wilmington Country Club, not far from his Delaware home where he was spending the weekend. It was his first time playing golf since taking office in January.
The president played with senior advisor Steve Ricchetti and Ron Olivere, father-in-law of Biden’s late son Beau, the White House said. Biden’s handicap index is just over 6, according to the United States Golf Association. But he has not logged a round since 2018.
Biden is a member of the country club and played golf frequently as vice president. But his ability was mocked by former Ohio Gov. John Kasich, who said once at the GOP convention that “Joe Biden told me that he was a good golfer.”
“And I’ve played golf with Joe Biden,” Kasich continued. “I can tell you that’s not true.”
Golf has always been a favorite of presidents; Dwight Eisenhower, George W. Bush and Barack Obama all played often.
Biden’s predecessor, Donald Trump, played frequently, totaling over 300 rounds in his four years at office including during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic last year. Trump also would only play at country clubs he owned in Florida, Virginia and New Jersey.

Can he actually hit the ball?
How many holes?
Must have been a little Putt-Putt golf course because this decrepit POS is too senile to be on a real one.
Took him 8 tries to get through that damn windmill though
So he was under the weather when the Japanese Prime Minister came, but now he is healthy enough to play golf?
Pure golf excitement! Right in the drool cup!
Good for Biden! I hope he plays golf every day. Along with Kamala, all the department heads (known and unknown) and the entire Democratic leadership of Congress. The more golf they play, and the less governing they do, the better for the nation.
Joe kept pestering his confused caddy about whether he should use his mashie or his niblick.
Maybe we’ll luck out and he’ll get hit by a ball in the right place.
All we want to know about is how did he handle his putter, how did he hit his balls without causing a lot of pain, and how many times did he stroke his shaft before getting a hole in one, or one in a hole?
Welcome to “”Caddyshack XXI”!
Why can’t Presidents play table tennis, basketball, baseball, or something else? There a million things they can do for fun. Like playing Risk. Well, maybe a bad example. Presidents always play golf. I would vote for someone who doesn’t golf.
He shot an 18, on a course tougher than the one Kim Jong-un plays.
He’s a wrecking machine!!
Does Harris play golf?
