Golf Wanderings

In keeping with yesterday's theme of presidents who play golf, I came across an amusing and enlightening story about President Bill Clinton's golf game.
Clinton apparently is passionate about the game (who among us who plays isn't?), to the point where as governor of Arkansas, he sneaked out to a course one day during working hours.
Another story centers on how a teaching pro came across the President as he was dining in a restaurant near Capitol Hill with his family.
The teaching pro slipped him her business card and he showed up unexpectedly at her course several weeks later.
It just goes to show that the game of golf is a great leveler; President Obama and I could stand on the first tee of any golf course anywhere and we would do so as equals.
Of course, I would likely shank my tee shot into the bush. In the eyes of the golf gods, we might be equals, but in my eyes there would be a few subtle distinctions between us...
