In Arkansas for a children's golf clinic, Tiger Woods was asked about playing golf with former President Bill Clinton.
"Interesting math," Woods said, drawing a laugh before telling a story about a round the two played in February before the opening of the Tiger Woods Learning Center in Anaheim, Calif.
Woods described a hole on the back nine.
"President Clinton rolls one in the bushes, then hits another one off the tee ... right in the middle of the fairway, hits a nice little wedge shot up there to about, I don't know, 6-7 feet.
"I hit a bad pitch, I blasted it by about 12 feet. ... Then all of the sudden, he does one of these," Woods said, gesturing like a player picking up his ball.
"It was 6-7 feet and he walked off the green. ... So I'm sitting in the cart. He's writing down the numbers, I happen to kind of ..." Woods said, leaning back as if reading a scorecard over someone's shoulder.
"Woods 4, Clinton 3."
On a more serious note, Woods said playing with Clinton was fascinating.
"We had a good time," Woods said. "He was a cool person to play with, very intelligent. Brilliant, the things that he knew to describe world politics ... actually really remarkable."
Hey Tiger, he was lying about that too.
I just rehit.
Since I'm not keeping score the penalty is irrelevant.
And since I'm a crappy golfer anyway the score is also irrelevent. I wouldn't enjoy myself at all looking at so many double and triple bogeys on a scorecard at the end of a game.
This both keeps me from getting too frustrated and from slowing down groups behind me. But I'd never pretend the score I got on those holes would be legit.
In any sort of competition, however, I'm "by the book".
Tiger: No, Mr. President...the term is 'hole in one'. Not 'hole for one'.
stop that. (chuckle, chuckle)
You ought to be able to sell that.
Clinton used to like to play with Vernon Jordan...that was talked about during the Monica Lewinsky scandal.
