President Obama makes a shot, playing golf in May on Joint Base Andrews, Md. As of Saturday, Obama has played 146 rounds of golf since taking office in 2009, according to CBS News.


In March, Texas Republican Rep. Louie Gohmert, a frequent critic, went as far as submitting an amendment to proposed legislation that would have banned Obama from using federal funds to travel to or from golf courses.

By comparison, Bush played 24 rounds of golf through the first 34 months of his presidency, according to CBS News, but stopped in 2003 because he didn’t want to be seen by the country as a leader who took the nation being at war lightly.
