Obama's Foursome Finally Includes a Woman

TresSugar — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 10:10:00 -0700

The 44th president has played 24 rounds of golf (who's counting?) since he came to office. How many women have been invited along with the golfer in chief? One. This weekend, President Obama's chief domestic policy adviser Melody Barnes became the first woman to play golf with the president.

Last week, Obama sounded pretty enlightened about modern gender roles. He said that after he had kids, he realized that Michelle should not be solely responsible for running the house just because she's a woman. But it seems that Obama has been having a hard time translating these enlightened ideas to sports, as he typically plays basketball and golf with men only.

Hanging out socially with the boss is always good for career advancement, and it's a bit disappointing that the president was perpetuating the idea that these traditionally all-male activities are still for for members of the "boys club." Hopefully any of the sporty women on staff will now feel welcome to play in these very visible games.

Have you ever felt excluded from activities (social or work-related) because you're a woman?

Ewww!

With the Uroclub, it looks like you're just checking out your golf club, but in fact, you're peeing into it. Wait, what? I thought golf was supposed to be classy and sh*t. That is straight up nasty.

President-Elect Barack Obama Shows Off His Swing in Hawaii

Everyone needs a moment of relaxation, especially if you're about to take on the most important elected office in the world. President-elect Barack Obama was spotted playing a round of golf in Hawaii over the weekend with quite an entourage keeping watch. He's in town with his family for the holidays like they do every year and found time to hit the links before he takes office in January. Never straying too far from work, his hotly contended and headline making BlackBerry was strapped to his belt as usual. After admitting that he's "not that good" at golf, Obama enjoyed a lunch of Spam sushi. President Bush gave up golf out of respect for our soldiers, so we'll see if Obama comes under fire for his hobby. Until then, enjoy some shots of Barack Obama hitting the links in his cargo shorts.

The "G" Stands For Golf

Is it just me, or does the phrase "as grooved as his horn" somehow manage to make both golf and saxophone playing sound dirty?

They Say Golf Is a Snobby Sport...

. . . They never made it to the 19th hole.

President Bush Gave Up Golf Out of Respect to Soldiers

LibertySugar — Wed, 14 May 2008 00:00:55 -0700

Yesterday, President Bush sat down with Politico and Yahoo! to discuss his golf game, emailing habits, and the Iraq War. Here are some of the highlights from the interviewee-in-chief:

What if a Democrat is elected? Bush's "doomsday scenario of course is that extremists throughout the Middle East would be emboldened, which would eventually lead to another attack on the United States."
On sacrifices he's making for the Iraq war? Bush gave up golf. "I didn't want some mom whose son may have recently died to see the commander in chief playing golf. I feel I owe it to the families to be in solidarity as best as I can with them. And I think playing golf during a war just sends the wrong signal."

To see how Bush answered a question from the online audience about whether he felt he had been misled prior to the invasion of Iraq, read more.

On Iraq Intelligence? "Do I think somebody lied to me? No, I don't. I think it was just, you know, they analyzed the situation and came up with the wrong conclusion."
Does he think that a nasty presidential campaign could turn to race? "My own judgment is, is that race will only enter in if it's provoked by the press."
And what about email and the google? Giving it up to avoid leaks, Bush said he looks forward to "e-mailing to my buddies. I can remember as governor I stayed in touch with all kinds of people around the country, firing off e-mails at all times of the day to stay in touch with my pals."

I somehow look forward to seeing what "W" gets up to once he's out of the White House. Will he still make the news cycle? Do you think his popularity will rise, or stay desperately low as he fades into the Texas sunset?

Kangaroo Thinks Golf Time Is Sexy Time

GiggleSugar — Fri, 14 Dec 2007 13:00:00 -0800

Kangaroos are quite the exhibitionists. We saw one shamelessly please himself during an on-camera interview not too long ago. The punk below recently hosted a one 'roo pleasure party smack in the middle of the golf green. For this, he made the local news and was given the "Play of the Day." So this behavior is considered a sport nowadays?

Thanks, College Humor!

PDA Caught On Tape

Blah, blah, blah, boring golf coverage, but keep watching and you'll spot a couple caught having a squeeze-tastic good time at the British Open. Who says the players are the only ones getting any play at these events?

Dumbass Of the Day

GiggleSugar — Fri, 08 Jun 2007 11:20:00 -0700

Let's give this dude points for creative thinking. He knew he had to be somewhere and that he was too drunk to drive, so he decided to drive someone's golf cart instead. The problem is: a DUI is a DUI. Another problem: once the cops catch up to you, it's not very wise to admit that you stole the vehicle you're driving and that you've been drinking. All. Day. Long. And another problem: did he just ask to go to jail?

Boxing Kangaroos + Golf = Why The Hell Not?

In this heartwarming video about the harmony between man and beast, golfers with nerves of steel carry on their game of golf while two kangaroos kick each other's asses a few feet away. I think I even shed a tear.
