While DonaldTrump played no less than 300 times during his one term of four years, current US President JoeBiden hit the fairways on Saturday for the first time in his presidency. - IOLsport

WILMINGTON - President Joe Biden played golf for the first time in his presidency Saturday, hitting the fairways in his home city of Wilmington - and taking a page out of his golf-obsessed predecessor Donald Trump's book.

The White House said Biden's playing partners were Ron Olivere, father-in-law of Biden's late son Beau, and senior advisor Steve Ricchetti. Biden has kept his golfing skills largely quiet, in contrast to the openly boastful Trump, who not only played as often as possible while in the White House but owned the courses he used.

But with coronavirus vaccine rollouts steaming ahead and a Pew poll giving him a 59 percent approval rating, Biden might have felt it was time to unwind.
