According to Golf Digest, when Donald Trump took office, he immediately became the best golfer of the past 19 U.S. presidents. Trump’s 2.8 handicap places him above the former presidential best, John F. Kennedy, who dominated the links while suffering from chronic back pain. Coming into his fourth month in office, Trump looks to lead the presidential pack in another category: days spent on the course.

As of last week, Trump has played golf at least 13 times, as compared to President Obama, who only played golf once in his first 100 days. Obama would play a total of 333 rounds over eight years. Should Trump miraculously make it through four years in the Oval Office, he is on a pace to play 233 rounds. Every president deserves some R and R after a busy week leading the free world, but Trump’s excursions seem hypocritical given the way he lambasted Obama for his golf habit on the campaign trail.

5 positive feel-good comedy movies that aren’t corny or preachy

There are some days when you’re just looking for a nice, positive laugh. A lot of comedy films out there that are biting, snarky, and mean-spirited. That’s not bad on its own. Such comedy allows people to laugh at the angry parts of life. But those comedies don't always fit the mood you want when you’ve had a harsh day or a day filled with rage-baity news.

On the opposite end, you probably aren’t in the mood for anything that’s too corny, preachy, or have that “we’ve all learned something today” motif that makes you roll your eyes.

On May 28, 2014, 13-year-old Athena Orchard of Leicester, England, died of bone cancer. The disease began as a tumor in her head and eventually spread to her spine and left shoulder.

After her passing, Athena's parents and six siblings were completely devastated. In the days following her death, her father, Dean, had the difficult task of going through her belongings. But the spirits of the entire Orchard family got a huge boost when he uncovered a secret message written by Athena on the backside of a full-length mirror.

A Millennial asked her Gen Z sister what's 'cringe' and her 5 answers were a brutal reality check

Every generation eventually faces a humbling moment of truth: the things you think are cool are, in fact, deeply embarrassing to the generation that comes after you. For 32-year-old Lea, that moment came when she innocently asked her younger sister a simple question. The answer would soon send a shockwave of self-consciousness across the entire millennial demographic.

Lea, who goes by @laughinglea on TikTok, explained to Newsweek that she was confused by comments on her videos calling her "cringey" and "Millennial core." "I had no idea what that meant," she admitted. "I thought I was young and cool, so I had to find out more." She turned to the most honest source she could find—her Gen Z sister—and asked for an unfiltered list of everything millennials do that makes them cringe.

A woman's boss told her to get rid of her pink hair, so she found the most ridiculous way to comply

For many, a workplace dress code is a minor annoyance. But for Emily Benschoter, a rule against "unnatural" hair color wasn't just an inconvenience—it was a direct challenge to her identity. Her response has since become a legendary tale of malicious compliance, turning a rigid corporate policy into a source of daily joy for her and the internet.

The conflict began when Benschoter, 29, landed a new front-of-house role in the hospitality industry. Speaking with Newsweek, she explained that since she was hired without a face-to-face interview, her new manager had no idea that she was, as she put it, a "self-expressive person" who felt most confident with her vibrant, dark-pink hair. Before her first shift, her manager informed her that the company had a strict policy: natural hair colors only.

Woman who found slur on oil change sticker stunned by dealership's unbelievable response

When dealing with people, especially as employees in the service sector, a person must be respectful and professional. Communicating diligently is a must-have skill for the job and a trait people must possess in general. Unfortunately, we often come across racist people who look for opportunities to put others down. 33-year-old Makayla Starks went to get her car serviced at Kunes Buick GMC in Oak Creek, per PEOPLE. Unfortunately, she returned to find her car with a sticker holding a racist comment. When she felt disrespected and downgraded, good people stepped in to ensure she got an apology and an apt response that helped her feel accepted.

The Italian 'tomato technique' is an easy way to get more done while avoiding burnout

For many people, it is difficult to stay focused on a task or to study. Not only are there distractions all around us, but there is just waning interest in what you’re doing and outright fatigue. Then there are times when you do keep focus and work for hours, but feel so incredibly spent and burnt out afterward that you wonder if your efforts yielded poorer results because you weren’t in top form. If this sounds like you, then an Italian college student in the 1980s has a productivity hack for you to try that helps maintain focus and prevent burnout.

What is the Pomodoro Technique?

In the late 1980s, then-student Francesco Cirillo was having trouble focusing on studying for a final exam. Looking for ways to keep focus, Cirillo took a tomato-shaped kitchen timer and set it for a few minutes. During that time, he focused solely on studying until he heard the timer go off. He found that this approach made it easier for him to concentrate.
