Golf is a better presidential predictor than the polls.
Since World War II, golfers have beaten nongolfers in 16 of 18 presidential elections — with Harry Truman and Jimmy Carter the only exceptions.
Donald Trump, of course, is an avid golfer — and owns several courses around the world.
While Hillary Clinton has on a few occasions been photographed playing golf with husband Bill, she is not a regular player.
In August, Barack Obama played his 300th round of golf as president — still a far cry from the 800 rounds Dwight Eisenhower is said to have played.
