Donald Trump and Barack Obama enjoyed spending ample time on golf courses throughout their presidencies.
But Trump handily defeated Obama in a new list of Washington D.C.’s Top 100 Golfers, compiled by Golf Digest.
“We think many of the individuals featured in our latest ranking of Washington’s top golfers favor this position, given the quality of players in our nation’s capital. In the latest edition of this ranking of presidents, senators, representatives, congressional staffers, lobbyists, and other power brokers, 58 boast single-digit handicaps,” Drew Powell of Golf Digest wrote.
“To qualify for this list, a person must be an elected official in the federal government, spend considerable time in the metro-D.C. area, and work within the political ecosystem or be a former politician with continued strong connections to our nation’s capital.”
Seventeen members of Congress made the list, with Democrats getting five honors and Republicans earning 12. Of the 17 Capitol Hill staffers, 15 come from the GOP, while only two come from the Democratic side.
Six former members of Congress made the list, with five Republicans and one Democrat.
