Obama is a Golf Goers

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.”

13 Golf Balls in Dog Stomach

A dog had eaten 13 golf balls while walking on a golf course in Dunfermline, Scotland. The owner, Chris Morrison, brought in a Labrador dog 5 years old while playing golf for several months. He had brought the dog, Oscar, to a veterinarian after hearing a strange sound from inside his stomach.
And there are 13 golf balls in his stomach, when a golf ball weighs 45 grams. Morrison said one golf ball seems to have spent so long in Oscar’s stomach until it gets dark and a little crushed.

“He saw a golf ball like food and we do not know how long this goes on, but at least several months,” said Morrison.

Through an operation that lasted for 4 hours, all golf balls that they put out. Veterinarians who perform the operation on the Oscars, Bob Hesketh, claim to have never found a case like Oscar.

“As if by magic, I opened up her stomach and I think only 2 or 3 golf balls,” he recalls.

“But the golf balls kept coming up to a full bag.”

Now Oscar has now been able to walk again without strange sound from inside his stomach, but still have to eat special foods are thawed.
