No words quoted out of Putin's mouth has the sound of a "vow". He sounded more like Clinton speak.

"Nikolov and the other czars of Russian golf have been trying to get President Vladimir Putin to come out to the course and maybe hit a bucket of balls. Putin, whose sports of preference are judo and downhill skiing, sponsors a major golf tournament at the club, but he's never played or even visited."
