Thanksgiving weekend marked President Donald Trump’s 81st excursion to a golf course since he took the oath of office a mere ten months ago. And while the president continues to come under fire for his frequent pastime, he now appears to be getting a bit defensive.
After Turkey call I will be heading over to Trump National Golf Club, Jupiter, to play golf (quickly) with Tiger Woods and Dustin Johnson. Then back to Mar-a-Lago for talks on bringing even more jobs and companies back to the USA!

After the President’s Turkey Day tweet, Twitter took him to task.
Leave it to Twitter users to jump on the word “quickly”:
"Quickly" that made my day. You sound like you are having some remorse hahahahaha

How exactly do you play golf quickly? Is it miniature golf for your tiny hands?

Others decided to call him out while giving a nod to the holiday:
That's all you do is golf. You're the real turkey here.

Some folks reminded Trump of his own criticisms of former President Barack Obama’s golf habits (numbering a mere 29 rounds during his first 12 months in office):
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

Trump’s most ardent supporters made a few feeble attempts to defend the President’s time at the links:
Nothing wrong with a little golf break with how hard Trump has been working!

Good for you! Multitasking. Thanks for working so hard for our country.

Some tweeted reminders of the President’s campaign promises:
I thought you said you wouldn't have time to golf? So busy? Nahhh

If Trump stays the course, he may end up clocking nearly triple the time on the green as former President Barack Obama during his first year in office.
