His usual -- other than cutting west wing tours they tried to keep to routine to avoid suspicion -- he did cut his usual 18 to 9 they worried the press would ask why.

You'd think that he could say "Im president, I had things to do" and that would be good enough!

More importantly, what did he shoot and did he he get in anyone's pocket in the nassau?

If you look at the now iconic picture from the Situation Room, it looks like Obama still has his golf shirt on under his jacket.  Playing a quick nine and then overseeing the assasination of the most wanted man in the world?  I think our President is giving James Bond a run for his money.....

North Shore of Oahu for surfers,” Rogers said. “It is
where those who really care end up.”

According to the new issue of Golf Magazine our fearless leader plays to a 17.  The trick at Andrews AFB course is to trash talk him into playing the blues from 6883 as he doesn't get the extra bump on his course handicap vs. the whites.... ;)

More importantly, what did he shoot . . . ?

A terrorist. And he put one in the water.  

[I know . . . he really didn't shoot anyone. He's no Dick Cheney.  But you know what I mean.]
Golf history can be quite interesting if you just let your favorite legends go and allow the truth to take you where it will.

What is the protocol for payment of golf bets with a sitting president? Do you say things like "you can get me next time" or "please Mr. President the invitation alone certainly covers everything" or for the more brash playing partner "Mr. President forget about that $9 you owe me but could I get a picture with you and me holding your wallet".
