Link to tweet
President Donald Trump, who frequently criticized his predecessor for playing too much golf, hit the links for the first time as commander in chief on Saturday nearly three months before Barack Obama played his first round in 2009.
Mark Knoller, a White House correspondent for CBS News, reports (above) that Obama didn't play his first round of golf as president until April 26, 2009. Trump, meanwhile, teed off on Saturday morning 15 days into his presidency at his Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach.

At a campaign rally in December 2015, Trump slammed Obama for having "played more golf than Tiger Woods."
It was reported today (Obama) played 250 rounds of golf and hes going to be in Hawaii, I think did they say for three weeks? Trump said. Two hundred and fifty rounds, thats more than a guy who plays in the PGA Tour plays. He played more golf last year than Tiger Woods. We dont have time for this. We have to work. ... I dont have time for that. I love golf, I think its one of the greats, but I dont have time.
