Obama: “Duffer in chief?”
From Politico:
Barack Obama might have abs that are the envy of men half his age and the ability to command a crowd of 100,000 with his speeches.
But when it comes to the decidedly presidential sport of golf, well, to put it diplomatically — he’s only a little smoother on the links than he is in a bowling alley.
It wasn’t until Obama teed off as the president-elect a few times during his Hawaiian vacation that his golfing skills — or lack thereof — really showed.
I’m afraid the last thing you’ll ever hear me do is bust someone’s chops over his golf game. I’ve gotta be completely honest with you: knowing that Obama’s skills – or lack thereof – on the greens amount to less-than-PGA status makes me more likely to identify with him. As for people suggesting that he needs to have a goal of leaving the White House with a single-digit handicap, may I recommend that a good golf game should be way, way down on the list of priorities for a president?
