Maybe he didn;t want his picture taken on a golf course owned by Donald Trump.
If you played and scored like him, you’d probably want to keep it secret too.
Do not want his excursions into the whispering bushes to be recorded.
No witnesses to the cash changing hands.
I’m assuming that only black balls were used...That evil “whiteness “ factor is everywhere...
Well, duh. He didn’t want anybody seeing his 1,188 consecutive holes in one. No wonder Little Rocket Man is so pissed at us.
November 2008, Obama: “I think that I’m a better speechwriter than my speechwriters. I know more about policies on any particular issue than my policy directors. I’m a better political director than my political director. And I’ll tell you right now that I’m the best golfer who ever lived.”
They’ll acknowledge that he played 104 rounds as president. Which makes me wonder how many rounds he really played.
How many hours/days does 104 rounds constitute?
These “golfing” outings were used for Barry’s homosexual frolics with his revolving foursome of gay staffers - everyone in the DC press corps knew what was up, and that’s why they cooperated with the “no coverage” dictates of the White House.
According to CBS News White House Correspondent Mark Knoller, Obama played 333 rounds as president. Obama’s last round came on December 31 while on vacation in Hawaii. Knoller tweeted it was Obama’s 46th round of his final year in office.

>> It is Barack Obama’s 66th round of golf as president... During the 104 rounds Obama has played as president...
In 2014 I was living at Andrews AFB at the RV park. The RV park is nestled inside the golf course at Andrews.
The area suddenly got closed down and we were told to remain out of our vehicles in the RV area.
I saw men with long suitcases going into the wood line and police cars blocking all the main roads. Everything stopped moving for about half an hour. Up the course came President Obama and three other men, one of whom was Shinseki. They teed up on the tee opposite the camp central building and swung. Obama was last and his shot ricocheted off of a tree. He put another ball down and hit a bad one which didn’t seem to go anywhere. His third try was acceptable but far short of the other three.
Before he left the area he shook hands with some of the residents of the RV park, seemed nice enough in this action, then sauntered off with the rest.
We waited another ten minutes or so, the men came out of the wood line with the long suitcases, and everything went back to normal.
My one and only presidential story.
If you start golf as an adult, it’s hard to develop a good swing. I learned by watching Jack Nicklaus, and a few books. I don’t score well, but I look good doing it.
If you have ever seen his golf swing you would know why he doesn’t want to be filmed. What a duffer !
I find this to be yet another divergence between Obama and Trump.
Obama: Tries to keep his golfing a secret, is accompanied only by a few staffers and the Secret Service. It seems to be play to escape from work.
Trump: Is quite open to media attention, and is constantly seen speaking to other political figures (American and otherwise). In other words, even during play, he’s still working.
But good luck on the MSM pointing this out.
