Obama has played golf 60 times during his presidency, eight times (I believe) more than Bush did during his entire tenure at the White House.

Clinton played more but he wasn't "supposed" to be running 3 wars and a crashing economy. Actually he and Eisenhower (who was a fanatic golfer) were over looking very good economies.
I think that's probably a good reason to occassionally go golfing. I don't know about you, but I'd prefer a world leader to have a stress release every now and then.
