It ain't because he can play golf well..
OMG don't tell me Putin is a Master Golfer too. :shock:
I recall vividly how from 2012 up to 2016 Republicans, Conservatives, most Libertarian Rightists were calling Putin a master strategist and saying endlessly and without fail Putin is a master chess player.
That went on daily until I pointed out Putin never played chess against anyone he couldn't put in jail. Or have poisoned. Shot to death. Siberia.
We don't hear that booster cheerleading any more by the American Right. In fact the Putin-Trump Rowers have gone to radio silence on anything Putin lest they spill the borscht or even worse let the bear out of the bag too soon and right where we can see him.
Reminds me of the guy in Red Square arrested by police for handing out flyers. At the station the policeman noticed the flyers were blank paper. The cops asked the guy why he was handing out blank paper flyers so the guy said, "Why say anything when everybody knows what's going on."
In USA this half is on the case because the other half doesn't say anything about it. Or they deny it brazenly while they hack away from the sandtrap to the rough where the hornets nest is.
