did the President's golf property make on that one outing? Did 'Biden International Golf Club' charge the Secret Service for carts and bottles of water? Did they collect green fees for the President?

Really, did the President go out golfing and make NO money on it?

This is 'leadership?'

President Joe Biden spent Saturday afternoon on the first golf outing of his presidency, playing at the Wilmington Country Club near his Delaware home. Speaking to reporters after his round, Biden said “the course record is still intact.”

The president golfed with White House counselor Steve Ricchetti and Ron Olivere, father of his late son Beau Biden’s widow Hallie, the White House said.

Biden was ranked one of Washington’s best golfers a few years ago, sporting a single-digit handicap, but took a break during his 2020 campaign for the White House. In 2011, Golf Digest ranked Biden the 29th best golfer in Washington, with a 6 handicap. Biden had a 6.7 handicap in the U.S. Golf Association’s GHIN database in 2018, when his most recent scores were posted.

Biden has been reported to have memberships at Fieldstone Golf Club, which he lists as his home course, and Wilmington, a 36-hole facility that’s hosted several national amateur championships. Both are just a few miles from his home.

Easy to forget that he was a college football player. Guy's an athlete though and though.

I'm sure it's driving Trump nuts that Biden actually has the handicap that he's pretends to. Listening to people who have played with him, Trump shoots in the 90s. That's about where I play, and I'm lucky to get on the course more than a time or two a year and don't take it particularly seriously.
