Trump voters don't believe he has played more golf than Obama in first 3 months
During his first three months in office, Trump spent 19 days at a golf course and played golf on at least 13 occasions, according to The New York Times.
The Times found that Obama spent no days at a golf course during his first three months. Presidents George W. Bush and Bill Clinton also spent either no time or very little time golfing during their first 90 days — Bush made no trips to a golf course, while Clinton spent three days at courses.
A smattering of hypocritical quotes from Trump:

Just a reminder: Obama played golf 0 times in first 90 days

Everything bows to success, even grammar.

It's golf diplomacy! As the world's most powerful dealmaker, he's getting things done on the green- unlike Obummer who likes to pal around with Satanic celebrities and socialites.

Obama had large balls that he liked to play with. He liked to shoot his balls. This is something he can do right outside his home, so that's exactly what he did.
Trump needs more space for his balls. He likes to put one on the ground, then stand up and whack it off. This is a better activity, because many foreign leaders like to do it too. For example, Trump and the prime minister of Japan walked around outside at Mar-a-Lago, whacking their balls together.
Obama didn't find too many foreign leaders who wanted their balls shot.

That funny looking orange bastard has been playing for a long time. He actually has a handicap. No one has ever given Obama a handicap. Hell, he only learned how to hold a golf club after he was elected. Someone at the Pentagon goaded him into learning. "Mr. President, you know that every president in memory wasted half his time in office on the golf course. If you don't learn to play, they'll say that the first black president was just to stupid to learn the game." THAT is when Obama decided to learn how to golf.
Meanwhile, golf is still a silly damned game. I spent my first summer after high school tagging after my boss and workmates on a golf course. I slowly learned how to play the game, and was starting to get good enough that they wanted to give me a handicap. But, I just couldn't see the point in it. It's sillier than getting two teams of 9 players together to toss and whack a ball around a diamond, and to occassionally run around some bases. Just silly. A guy can get more exercise, and maybe put some food on the table, if he hikes around the hills with his shotgun, or his .22 rifle. Golf might have been more fun, but they wouldn't allow me to drive my Jeep onto the course, so that my shotgun would be close at hand when we spooked something out of the roughs. Just silly.
Hail to the Nibbler in Chief.

Heh, I rarely ever see people defend golf based on the game in and of itself (that's minigolf which is fuckin awesome). It's like Facebook. Always because of networking and peer pressure rather than practicality. One must also wonder how much harder golf makes it to listen in on conversation. Hm.
