No POLITICS here. Just a question regarding what the POTUS plays. He is an avid golfer. No different than asking what clubs,I,or anyone else uses.
Cannot say I am surprised by the Nike gear.

I was watching sports highlights last night and they showed their foursome playing. One of the info they showed is their handicap. The President has a 17 handicap and Boehner has a 8 handicap.

Just saw something on Golf Digest where Boehner played in August at Dismal River Golf Club in Sand Hills, Neb. He shot 2 under. Wonder how many strokes he has to give the Pres.

[seoulbrother]

can anyone tell what his partner is playing?

[RRH]

Why is his driver right handed?

[John3Daly]

What's his handicap? I know he plays more any President ever, he should be pretty good.

Obama's additions from DL3's visit:

Driver - Bubba's Ping with BiMatrix Shaft
Wedges - Cally wedges stamped and ground from Roger Cleveland - Prez 44
Putter - Custom stamped and paintfill from Scotty

J.A.T. regarding the Scotty ...... Noticed it wasn't a circle T or the usual Scottyness

[Jeepguy1981]

I noticed he's one of those who leave the headcovers off the woods and driver during the round. Can't stand that!!!

In the days leading up to the Masters, with tulips blooming in a White House garden and spring bathing Washington, D.C., in sunshine, President Barack Obama, like so many other golfers, couldn't resist dusting off his clubs.

 

Being a gear nerd, I couldn't help spending a few moments studying the equipment the most powerful man on the planet packs in his bag, which you'll notice has an embroidered presidential seal and "44" on it. The first thing I noticed was the number of clubs in this bag. I counted 17. If you'd like to be the person who tells the commander in chief that the Rules of Golf only allow 14 clubs, be my guest.

 

The president also appears to be a lover of lumber, carrying not only a TaylorMade R11 driver, but also a Nike Dymo 3-wood and what appear to be three Nike SQ Sumo² hybrids.

 

Nike's VR Full Cavity irons are a solid choice for a mid-to-high handicap player who is looking for distance and forgiveness. It's also interesting that Obama has two putters — a Ping Redwood Anser with a black satin finish (stamped with his name on the neck) and what appears to be an Odyssey White Ice #1 — but does not appear to be carrying a sand wedge or lob wedge.

 

Phil Mickelson, Bubba Watson and U.S. Ryder Cup captain Davis Love gave the president golf clubs last summer along with a personal invitation to the 2012 Ryder Cup in Chicago, but none of those clubs appeared to be in his bag.

 

When Watson received a congratulatory call from Obama on Tuesday, he asked to play basketball with the president, not golf. Maybe Obama should see if the new Masters champ is interested in a round at Augusta National instead. We hear it sets up great for lefties who play a fade.

That's an awfully big blue cooler.

[TheDarkOne]

Looks like he has 2 putters?
I remember reading that he was having a problem with everything going way left.

[maxmw]

he's doing it the wrong way obviously

[attachment=1115270:PresidentObamaWITB.jpg]



this looks way better

[Golf31]

Does it surprise anyone that there is more then 14 clubs in the bag? Also, there is no need to "dust" them off as he plays plenty. Who pays for the bag? Interesting post, thank you.

[OK_Golf]

I'm a card-carrying Democrat and I did vote for the President ... but I can't resist the jibe ... is anyone surprised he's "lefty"?


... DarkOne basically beat me to it though, "I remember reading that he was having a problem with everything going way left"

[SpinMill75]

Oh boy.....the things I'd like to say.



But in the spirit of the site not to get involved in political debates and to keep the thread from being locked down......



all I'll say is, nice set of clubs my tax dollars went to.

[LUMA]

His swing resembles other things.. Going to leave it like that.

Have to keep the Secret Service guys fed-and-watered too.

Not a good idea to tick-off the guys who might have to take a bullet for you.

[devinsolar]

Haha what a Shankapotomus!!

[ppjn348]

17 clubs... looks like the Ryder Cup team should have offered lessons instead of clubs.

They always carry a couple of hearts, a kidney and a liver on ice in case he needs an emergency transplant. That's been standard practice every since Dick Cheney was President.
