REUTERS/David Moir President Donald Trump may have criticized Barack Obama for playing too much golf, but he's already beating Obama's pace. As of his first 100 days in office end on Saturday, Trump has gone on 19 golf outings, compared to Obama's one during the equivalent time as president. Regardless of who's in office, it's a quirk of modern American culture that if you haven't liked the president in charge, you've had ample opportunity to paint him as preferring to be out on the golf course instead of making difficult decisions. The fact is, American presidents have been obsessed with golf for more than 100 years.
