HE SHOULD REALLY ONLY BE ALLOWED TO PLAY ON LADIES DAYS:

For Obama, Golfing Is a Very Leisurely Pursuit (HELENE COOPER, 8/28/09, NY Times)

Bill Clinton was famous for the creative way he kept score. Both George Bushes would speed-golf through 18 holes as if they had to beat the clock, not the course.

And President Obama?

Long, slow rounds. A lot of time hunting for balls in the woods. [...]

He spent five hours on Monday afternoon playing 18 holes at the Farm Neck Golf Club here, two and a half hours on Tuesday playing nine holes at Mink Meadows Golf Club in Vineyard Haven, and several hours playing Thursday afternoon at the Vineyard Golf Club in Edgartown.

His caddies must despise him.
