President Obama has had a chance to yell “FORE” at least 5,238 times as president after playing his 291st round of golf Saturday.
His latest outing, to the course at Fort Belvoir Golf Course in Northern Virginia, means he has played over 48 full, 24-hour days of golf, and probably more since he can average over four hours per round.

On Saturday, he played with his usual partners, according to a White House pool report.
