Golf Corner

President Barack Obama plays golf 32 times since taking office, more often than his predecessor, George W. Bush.

Obama played golf when the volcanic ash cloud in Europe forced him to cancel plans to attend the funeral of the Polish president. Such numbers were compiled by Mark Knoller of CBS Radio, the unofficial statistician of the White House.

Bush, who played 24 times, mocked for his love of golf. In an interview following a bomb attack on UN headquarters in Baghdad, the former president was filmed with a video camera on the golf course to take all countries to do whatever they can to stop these terrorist killers. Bush then paused before saying: “Thank you. Well now see this blow.” Bush then stopped playing golf when he was in office, and said in 2008: “I do not want mom whose son may have died recently saw a high chief playing golf.”

“I feel indebted to the family to show solidarity with them. And I think playing golf during the war sends the wrong signal.”

Golf Digest puts Obama in the ranks eighth in the line of U.S. presidents who played golf, behind Bill Clinton but in front of Ronald Reagan. John F Kennedy, who is widely regarded as the most skilled presidents to play golf, desperate to make sure he was not photographed while on the golf course.

A 90-year-old woman from West Yorkshire made the fellow golfers amazed because the print hole in one, putting the ball into the hole in one blow. Mary Tattersall make punch as far as 165 meters on the second hole on the golf course near the town of Bradford, England.

Pensioners, who had just started playing golf two years ago, said that feel amazed and surprised to reach this achievement. She later received a special trophy from the golf club to mark her success as an ‘Extraordinary woman’.

“I play golf with my friends and tee off (first blow) to the second hole and was surprised because I could not find the ball that I hit. It turned out that the ball was already in the hole,” said Mary Tattersall.

Golf is better than exercising in the gym room

“I feel amazed and surprised, as well as other golfers at the time.”
Mary Tattersall was 88 years old when he started playing golf for the exercise and make new friends.
Joran Gibson, owner of a golf course in Bradford, said the old woman had a natural talent in sports.
He said: “Very rarely can score hole in one. Mary really has a talent with hand and eye coordination is excellent. He loved golf and played in all weather.

“She’s a remarkable woman, every time you see her out of the car I always wanted to help him but she immediately jumped down, shake a golf club behind his body and he was immediately play.”
Mrs Tattersall said: “I’m not very competitive. I came to this golf course because this is a good sport, better than the gym.”
