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.

Waiting for video..
he’s NOT the “president”! AND I don’t give a crap what he says or does!
Biden surprised his entarage by somehow finding himself on the 17th green soon after beginning his round.
“I don’t know how the hell I got here,” he said as he tapped in for his quadruple birdie.
Encouraged by the Japanese boy
Oh, have they opened ‘putt-putt’?
If only he could golf as good as he can gaffe.
LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(Yawn) More self-serving pontificating from Tripper Joe.
===========================================
Ronald Reagan once called Joe Biden “a smooth, but pure, demagogue.”
Biden's demagoguery defines his 50-year political career. He's all talk about bi-partisanship, "civility and unity."
Demagogue is defined as a political type who seeks support by appealing to the prejudices of his voting base.
Joe Biden has a particular demagogic skill........for monetizing his political demagoguery.
I see LSD is still a “thing”.
Miniature golf has 18 holes, just like regular golf
....Biden’s handicap index is just over 6, according to the United States Golf Association...
Fraud, blackmail and corruption is the only tool used by Marxist, globalists and fascists.
Even the US Golf Association is corrupted to support the narrative
Minigolf?😀 He skipped a few holes (holes 3 to 16). Idea: Trump, Barron against Biden and Hunter, whoever wins the golf game, gets the White House...
