WASHINGTON, DC — President Trump used a meeting on Thursday with business leaders at the White House to boast about his golf game. He was going around the table letting people introduce themselves when he stopped the conversation after General Electric CEO Jeff Immelt spoke.

"Jeff actually watched me make a hole-in-one," Trump said. "Should you tell that story?" Immelt said that when GE-owned NBC was trying to convince Trump to do "The Apprentice," they went golfing. Trump announced that he was the best richest golfer in the world. (For more political stories, subscribe to the White House Patch to get daily newsletters and breaking news alerts.)

He then hit a hole-in-one. "I actually said I'm the best golfer of all rich people," Trump corrected him.

The president's golf game as drawn a lot of interest recently, as he had vowed during the campaign that "I'm not going to have time to go play golf." A Washington Post analysis over the weekend determined that since taking office, Trump has played golf at least six times — five of which he played a full 18 holes. The report said he has played at least 25 hours of golf.

It's quite a turn of attitude for Trump toward presidential golf from when he was a citizen and Obama was president.

Can you believe that,with all of the problems and difficulties facing the U.S., President Obama spent the day playing golf.Worse than Carter

President Obama has a major meeting on the N.Y.C. Ebola outbreak, with people flying in from all over the country, but decided to play golf!
