Stumbled upon this interview, thought it was a great watch. Nice to know our president counts his strokes.

I don't know ... those guys that are adamant about how much they don't cheat ... well ... you know.

There's a whole 25-minute interview on iTunes. He all but guarantees a Bulls NBA championship by the time he's out of office. (Cue the guy who says "the Bulls better get to work, he's only got 11 months.")

Yes, the 3:00 minute mark is when he talks about counting all his strokes. Obama seems like a guy you'd like to have as a partner on the course or on a  team, even if you don't care for the other part...

I remember Bill Clinton and when he played golf ... Bill was known for taking multiple mulligans... but then, he is a bit of a prima donna.

Anyone read the book "First off the Tee"?  Clinton's cheating has been discussed so much I'd be surprised if any President after him took as much as a breakfast ball or an inside-the-leather gimme.

I wouldn't want to be in Obama's foursome.  Saw him playing at the Marine Base on Oahu a couple times.  They had half the course cordoned off, and a fleet of about 30 golf carts following them.  Looked really annoying.

Well, that's how any president is going to have to play these days. For that matter, it's like that anywhere he goes: you can't let just anyone walk right up to the leader of the free world... and a golf course is presumably a bit tougher to secure than most buildings. I agree it would be annoying to be in that foursome with all the distraction... but then again, if the president - this one, another one, regardless of party, whoever - invited me to play golf with him, I'd be there.

I would love to be in that foursome.  No one in front of you.  No one behind you.  Play at your pace.  Secret Service helping locate balls in the rough.  Debating with The President whether Bill Russell or Michael Jordan was the best player ever.  Heaven for me.

I don't think there is a an argument you can make for Russell.

I think the argument is 11 championships in 13 years, plus the lowest rebound per game total he ever had was 18.6 (highest was 24.7). I'm not saying I would make that argument, just that that's what it is.

Everyone has their own opinions but if I had to rank them it would be:

1. MJ

2. Wilt

3. Russell

4. Magic

5. Kareem

But I suppose it depends on how you definite "best player" (stats, championships)

      Swing Thoughts & Mental Game

      By StuM · Posted

      The chatter in my brain is when the distance is between clubs since I am pretty weak at shortened backswings, etc. I try to simply decide if being long or short is the better outcome and choose my club based on that and simply not even try for the “real” distance.  For me a full normal swing is what I strive for.

      Swing Thoughts & Mental Game

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I saw this comment made in a golf article... "Most golfers stand over a 4- or 5-iron still negotiating with themselves. They think about how hard to swing, whether they have the right club, if they have the aim correct and more. It’s a lot to deal with and long irons punish the “half-in” golf swing." I am not sure the "most golfers" is correct regarding the bolded part. I can understand if there is a bunker, water, and/or OB that a lot of golfers would be fixated on that. I am not sure that leads to ending up more times there. Pending your level in golf, the variance is so large in outcomes, it could be just with in the expected outcomes. I can understand if have a big lake on the right side of the hole being one of the most terrifying shots for right-handed amateur golfers.  I am not sure many golfers are standing over the ball talking to themselves, "Ok, maybe I should step back and pull the 4-iron. Am I lined up right? Oh, the wind came up, should I swing harder? What am I going to have for dinner tonight, maybe steak. (Joking, somewhat 😛)" A question is that how much chatter do you get while standing over the ball. Are you questioning the everything about your golf shot?
