President Barack Obama hit a milestone over the weekend, but not everybody is excited about it.

Like so many dads, he spent Father's Day on the golf course.

It marked the 100th time in his Presidency that he's played a round, according to Good Morning America.

His predecessor in the White House, George W. Bush, played just 24 rounds during his eight years in office.

Critics say the President's hobby sends the wrong message during this time of economic turmoil.

What do you think? Does it bug you, or is not a big deal?
