For years, President Donald Trump criticized his predecessor Barack Obama for playing golf while on the job.

"Can you believe that, with all of the problems and difficulties facing the U.S., President Obama spent the day playing golf," he tweeted Oct. 13, 2014.

But since taking office, Trump has been a regular visitor at his own golf clubs in Florida and Virginia so far outpacing Obama in the amount of time he spends on the green.

As Trumps presidency goes forward, well keep tally of how many times he plays golf and how that compares with Obama at the same point in his presidency on what were calling our Trump Golf Tracker.

The score so far?

So as of April 17 in the first year of each man's presidency, the score is Trump 14, Obama 0.

Obamas first game as president was April 26, 2009. He went on to play 333 times total over his eight years, according to CBS White House Correspondent Mark Knoller, who tracked Obamas games.

Its not as easy to track Trumps game as you might think.

His staff has on several occasions declined to confirm he played golf while spending the day at his golf club. So in some cases, we have to rely on reporters observations and those of private citizens who spotted Trump on the course and posted pictures on social media.
