I’ve stood by my keyboard long enough. This fight has been brewing for a few months now and I guess that its time to weigh in and hopefully put a stop to this latest nonsense.
On yesterday some of those Sunday morning talking heads criticized President Obama for playing too much golf. (If you suspect that it was one of those idiots on Fox News, you’d be right but there are others too.) The quote was â€â€¦ Obama played golf 24 times in the past nine months. That’s more than Bush played in three years.â€
First, are you #$%^&* kiddin’ me?????? What’s the problem????
Second, there’s no such thing as playing too much golf. WE ALL KNOW THAT IT’S NOT POSSIBLE. It’s like being too rich or too thin. Everybody knows that. Heck even Republicans, the very people who invented golf know this. (Yep those sheep herders in Scotland were registered Republicans.)
Third, playing 24 times in 9 months is, in my book, not being dedicated to the game. He’s a piker as far as I’m concerned. Heck, I’ve done that in a month. Seriously. (Well not lately, due to the recession, etc., but 24 times in nine months is nuthin’). Under the proper circumstances I could do this in a week---standin’ on my head.
I actually do know guys who’ve done 24 rounds in a week but they had to pay their own greens fees or had to sneak on a course. I do suspect that there are a couple of courses that Barack would probably have to still sneak on in order to play but I suspect that the Navy SEALS could probably help him out in this case.
Twenty four times in nine months doesn’t even come close to a White House record. My favorite golfer of all time is Dwight David Eisenhower. By actual count Ike played golf well over 900 times in eight years. 900 times. I’d almost bet money that Tiger hasn’t played 900 rounds. (OK, I exaggerate …but you get my drift). That’s a lot of rounds. I was a small child during Ike’s second term but everyone in the country knew that the best way to get in touch with Ike was not at the White House but at Congressional. Anyway the current POTUS ain’t likely to come close to playing 900 rounds even if he gets four more years. So criticize him for his stance on healthcare, or cap and trade, or whatever policy you may choose…but criticizing a red blooded American golfer for playing golf less than once a week just ain’t right.
