That’s golf club selection. On this important diplomatic foray to the Far East, our president will take some time off to play some golf with Japan’s Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and professional golfer Hideki Matsuyama.

They’ll probably discuss the North Korean problem and how Trump is a much better golfer than Lindsay Graham.

Solving the world’s problems is tough, especially when you can’t hit the ball straight.



FORE!

Golf diplomacy has become part of Japan's playbook on Donald Trump. Abe made a stopover in New York soon after the U.S. presidential election last November and presented the then-president-elect with a pricey Japanese Honma driver. Trump reciprocated with a golf shirt and other golf-related goods. The two hit the links at Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida after a summit meeting in Washington in February. They will be joined by top Japanese pro Hideki Matsuyama on Sunday at the Kasumigaseki Country Club outside of Tokyo. The prestigious club changed its policy to allow women to be full members in March after coming under pressure as the venue for golf at the Summer Olympics in Tokyo in 2020. Japanese TV showed Abe playing golf Friday in preparation for Sunday's outing with Trump.
