A lot of the American presidents have had a history of being avid golfers. So, if there’s one thing Daly would’ve learned after playing with them, it is how well each leader was at the sport. As someone who is always vocal about his opinions, Daly had quite a lot to say on this topic. Let’s check it out!

For Donald Trump, the 45th President, Daly said during an event at Maryland Live! Casino, “He really doesn’t keep score when I play with him. We go out and have a good time. We just talk about family and stuff like that. We don’t talk politics.”

He added, “We don’t even talk golf. We just go out and have a good time. Every time I played with him — even when I played with (George W.) Bush, it wasn’t even about that, it was just going out and having a good time and seeing how the family’s doing and just having a relaxed day. That’s what they need. It’s kind of what I need sometimes.”

While the debate for the best was not extremely concrete, the worst man was not as difficult a pick for Daly. He admitted, “(Bill) Clinton couldn’t play at all — Clinton was Mr. Mulligan — but I think Bush Sr. was probably the best that I played with. (George W.) Bush was OK. Just not quite as good as (his dad) was.”
