Joe Biden Joins the Ranks of Golfing U.S. Presidents but His Handicap Is Up for Debate

Penny Starr 24 May 2021

President Joe Biden is like his predecessor Donald Trump in one way: Both are avid golfers. But getting the facts about the presidential handicap is as difficult as some of the courses that test their skills.

The media is vigilant about covering presidential golf outings and, according to Golf Week, 16 of the past 19 president’s played golf to one extent of another.

The latest in the spotlight is Biden, who took his first trip to the fairways in his home state of Delaware and the Associated Press (AP) reported on the trip and included his alleged handicap:

The president played with senior advisor Steve Ricchetti and Ron Olivere, father-in-law of Biden’s late son Beau, the White House said. Biden’s handicap index is just over 6, according to the United States Golf Association. But he has not logged a round since 2018.

That’s an impressive handicap, requiring consistent games in the high 70s or low 80s.

But the association, the governing body of golf for the U.S. and Mexico, could not confirm Biden’s handicap, but not because of his not logging in.

“As part of the modernization of the handicapping rules and adoption of the World Handicap System, we have put additional privacy measures in place to protect critical personal information while still permitting the vital handicapping process of peer review,” Beth Major, senior director of the association, told Breitbart News in an email. “As a result, we do not publicly share handicap indexes for individuals.”

But Biden’s golf game and handicap lore has persisted over the years.

Maybe when he was 50 he shot in the 70s (unlikely), but in his current diminished state, he may lack the coordination to hit the ball.

It takes a lot of balls to golf like Joe Bided does.

I'd say that's a definite maybe! He doesn't have the coordination to do much of anything.

So ... when and how are they going to get him to step down?

What the heck are they waiting for?? There has to be a reason (other than Kamel isn't up for the job).
