Kasich: “I basically watch the Golf Channel when I’m traveling"

Republican presidential hopeful and Ohio Governor John Kasich was asked by CNN’s “State of the Union" about his viewing habits.

The governor, who faces possible elimination if he doesn't win Ohio Tuesday, said he passes on the news for...Golf Channel.

“I don’t watch the news,” Kasich told Jake Tapper on  on Sunday, according to Yahoo. “I basically watch the Golf Channel when I’m traveling, believe it or not.”

Here was the governor on Morning Drive last year.

Globe On Trump: "The man loves his golf, and by many accounts has a good bit of skill when playing."

Michael Whitmer of the Boston Globe tries to dissect Donald Trump's golf humblebrags and concludes that yes, there may be some exaggerations, but that the next president also is decent enough to back up his claims.

He writes:

Fact-checking a candidate during a campaign is par for the course — pardon the pun — but some of Trump’s claims can be confirmed. His name is included with the list of club champions at Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, N.J. A plaque recognizing his hole-in-one on the 12th hole at Trump Golf Links Ferry Point in the Bronx has been added to the tee box (8-iron, 149 yards, Oct. 9, 2013). His GHIN handicap index — available for perusal to anyone with Internet access — shows the 20 most recent 18-hole scores Trump has posted. The low, a 70, is from August 2013, and came in a tournament; the highest, an 86, was posted in October 2014.
