"But I am sure that he is a major disruption to the other golfers at any golf course he graces with his presence.'

That is why he went to 'The View' TV show rather than the Boy Scouts Jamboree. He didn't wan to be disruptive.

I expect OBAMA will want to propose a New Merit Badge for the Boy Scouts. This one will be in Community Organizing!!! The Badge will have his likeness with that of Saul Alinsky in the background.

He apparently doesn't know that the Saul Alinsky method of agitating folks because they don't agree with you and promoting ridicule of your opponents are diametrically opposed to what the BSA stands for.

*** Does anyone here think that THE 1 could get on any of the golf courses if he wasn’t who he is? I doubt that he could play half of them if he didn’t hold the title that he has. ***

You're right. Except I'd say more than half.

And it has nothing to do with his color. Bit everything to do with him being a Hacker. The private clubs, and members, would have fits for the way he leaves a course.

There's one video of him on YouTube at a Practice Tee and Barry's using a Nine Iron (one of the easiest clubs to hit). The jerk keeps whiffing the Ball, but his Divot goes about 15 yards. And he does this over and over. Divots are flying everywhere. Private Clubs don't put up with that, no matter how 'Rich' you are

(He lifts his head before hitting the ball and his swing pretty much stinks. 'Athletic' he ain't)

"Well, what does the Koran say about playing golf? Is it permitted to a Muslim, or not?"

The Sultan of Johor (aka Sultan Iskandar, aka Muslim King of Malaysia) beat several of his caddies senseless, killing at least one. Apparently golfing is allowable for adherents of Koranic teaching, but caddying might be a wee bit more dangerous under the same conditions.
