President Obama’s “POTUS 44” golf ball found… in the woods
Over the weekend, President Barack Obama reportedly sniped his opening tee shot into the woods during a round at Congressional Country Club in Bethesda, Md. Apparently the guys from PTI either let the President take a “breakfast ball,” or his caddy/Secret Service didn’t do a good job finding the shot that went astray.
A golfer, known by his Instagram alias “Larrydoh,” went into the woods the next day and recovered the head honcho’s customized Titleist Pro V1 golf ball. Certainly the reports bear some truth, since President Obama is the 44th and current POTUS (President of the United States).
President Obama has reportedly played 81 rounds of golf in his second-term. With all that practice you think he’d have the shanks under control. A video that surfaced in 2009 from a range session in his home state of Hawaii shows he had a lot of work to do.

As the POTUS, you’d think he’d have better access to the world’s best instructors, no? I guess even the guy with control over the free world can’t control an unruly golf ball.
Fore left Barry, fore left.

Obama has decided to “darken” the nation (it’s too white), illegally I might add, by rolling out the red carpet for illegals to cross the border. He really did have a plan to “transform America”. Right out of the Saul Alinsky’s and Cloward/Piven playbook. Thank you white progressives….hope you will be happy when we end up like Europe, whose leaders did the same thing, in order to keep power permanently.

What Joe said is true…to stay on topic….how many golf courses has this President’s policies put out of business or put on the threshold of going under? The golf business needs a vibrant economy to thrive, and this President has given us anything but that…and please do not quote me the manipulated stock market…I am talking about disposable income…that is what the golf market needs to flourish. Rising healthcare…3-4 dollar gas…limited hours if you are lucky enough to have a job…etc…

I agree with Joe’s educated and rational post.

If I found his ball, I’d throw it in the lake…it’d be like finding a ball with a cut in it. Sorry, nothing special about this guy. What he’s brought into the White House has permanently ruined the office and reduced it to nothing special…both here and abroad.
At least his voters got their stuff.

Ok, you betcha that we found his golf ball in the woods, but we still haven’t found any answers on Benghazi!
Where are the answers?!
Great post, Andrew. Nice use of Barry in the last line. Glad you’re taking sides, Real American!

Looks like he’s as incompetent as a golfer as he is as a president. And of course he changes the rules as he sees fit. Disappointed golfwrx gives him or any other politician/entertainer mentions. What about a story on why international competitors are starting to dominate golf when the 2 governing bodies are in the USA and UK.

He makes the white shirt and khaki short combo look the worst I’ve seen and he’s the president!

I hope some day I’m important enough that strangers go looking for my “breakfast balls” in the woods the next day.
BTW, Andrew, this is the sort of post in which a lot of blogs will tend to encourage their readers not to get too political. Judging from comments like “Joe’s” this could get real ugly real quickly.

Is it any surprise that Barry the “Community Organizer” cant play? At least when he is attempting to play golf, he has taken a break from destroying the country. God knows he has just about finished off the USA. Another 10 trillion should just about do it. He and Eric Holder are busy saving the county from white males. Was Bill Ayers in his foursome, along with Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson? Forget impeachment, this Muslim plant and front man for George Soros open borders society should be arrested immediately for crimes against America.
