The Nation’s two first golfers, Barack Obama and Speaker of the House John Boehner have a tee time for June 18 somewhere in the Washington area.
Boehner’s going to have to give Obama strokes. The Speaker apparently is a 7.9 handicap. Obama apparently is a 16.
Readers might find this book on golf and the presidency interesting: First Off The Tee
Golf Digest dedicated about a third(?) of its current issue to this, and golf and the presidency in general.
I’d drop in some choice quotes, but I left the issue in Arizona. But they did mention “16” for the handicap.
From what I have seen of Obama golfing, I doubt he is a 16.
I actually wrote those words, but deleted them. I thought perhaps I was off on that one.
