Barack the Golfer

Today was quite a day.
The first African American sworn in as president of the United States is a truly momentous and historic moment.
It signals an end to an enormous racial divide in America; African Americans need no longer be afraid to reach for the top.
We know that already exists in the realm of professional golf where Tiger Woods rules the golf world even as he puts the final healing touches on his knee surgery last June.
The new president is a golfer, too.
I wonder how long it will take some marketing maven with political connections to create a made-for-TV golf show featuring Tiger and the President going head to head?
It would be a show that would score huge ratings and would do a whole helluva lot more to encourage other African Americans to take up the game than a minority exemption offered by one tournament on the PGA Tour.
