Woods Golfing With Obama?

Gayle Fee and Laura Raposa of the Boston Herald report that an Obama-Woods round at The Vineyard is rumored. Only one problem: the timing laid out in the story doesn't add up.

Obama leaves Martha's Vineyard on Aug. 30 when Woods will be playing the final round of the Barclay's.

This Monday the 24th, Woods plays Notah Begay's Skins Game to benefit the Notah Begay III Foundation which provides health and wellness education to Native American youth.

Since next week's Barclays features a Wednesday pro-am, that leaves this coming Tuesday the 25th as the only opening in both men's schedules.

I wonder what Woods will chose: an extra practice round to hunt for design layers in Bob Cupp and Tom Kite's Old Course-inspired Liberty National, or golf at The Vineyard with the most powerful man in the world?

Let's just hope Tiger doesn't close-stand his playing partner like he did Sunday at the PGA. After all, Secret Service sharp shooters will be on hand.

"close-stand" is the neologism of the year. way to go geoff!

thusgone - what about close-stand flatulence, would that be another use of Geoff's neologism? the secret service ought to warn the pres.

Stop the insanity! On The Vineyard, it is not politically correct for a sitting President to play The Vineyard Club in Edgartown (Doak 6), you play Farm Neck in Oak Bluffs (Doak 5). However, Farm Neck has the better views.

I bet Tiger takes a page from Obama's book and converts the 50 state win strategy into an 18 hole win strategy.
