NYT - Make room for Golf Clubs in the Oval Office

[nevets88]

I thought Obama was just a casual player. Looks like he's got the bug. I saw one of his still swing photos though - big chicken wing.

He also used his blackberry on the course to make a phone call. That should constitute an impeachable offense.

Did you hear what he said about his game when he was on vacation in Hawaii?

They asked him how his game was going and he said "I'm not good!" And he laughed.

So, he has that bug but admits he isn't any good. That makes him like about 10 million other golfers, doesn't it?

It sure as hell makes him like me.

He would probably be really good if he wasn't President. Although, because he is, he can play wherever he wants (Pebble Beach, St. Andrews, Bethpage).

I wonder if one of the SS guys doubles as a forecaddy?

"I gotta bogie coming in at 3'oclock. Looks like it's going OB. Intercept, intercept!"

Yeah, let's hang him from the rafters. It's not like he's important.

Careful. Kelly Tilghman got in big trouble for a comment similar to that.

I saw that he was nice enough to take one of his campaign workers out on the course with him. Can you imagine getting to play a round with the President, specifically President Obama?

His swing isn't pretty but at least he doesn't have a reverse weight shift like an un-athletic person's not pretty swing.
