Will Obama Play More Golf?
It's pretty silly, but I wonder if Obama will follow in the foot steps of so many recent presidents and play a lot of golf, or will he be seen playing more basketball?

I couldn't remember much coverage of him playing golf, but came across this photo.



Nothing wrong with golf, but I look forward to seeing him work off his steam on the court rather than milling about an expensive golf course.

Imagine Obama and Michael Jordan getting the chance to play a pick up game of basketball some time. Those imagines would be really cool!

Bye bye to repeative shots of the POTUS on putting green, hello B-Ball!

1. I'd rather see him play more roundball
While golf I'm sure is a wonderful game (I don't play), I do believe playing basketball will be much better for him. And he's pretty damned good, too.

2. It's a Lot Easier to Make Deals Between Swings Than Free Throws

4. Disc golf, or "folf" would be politically brilliant for Obama to take up.

5. As long as he doesn't cut brush on a pig farm
I'm good with just about anything.

6. I believe Biden plays golf also
I would gladly play 18 with either or both of them.

7. well, he did say.....
that he was considering converting the White House bowling ally into
a basketball court....I think bb will remain his top way to relax...
because he has loved it for so long...

he claims to not be a good golfer...but gives it a go.
