One of the
most famous and diabolical holes in all of golf - the 17th hole
at TPC Sawgrass is shown from overhead. The 41st
President of the United States, George H.W. Bush is
swinging a 5 iron, his ball lands roughly 20 feet from
the hole "Beautiful swing, Mr. President," says
his caddie.
Next on the tee is the 42nd President of the
United States, Bill Clinton. He hesitates for a moment,
looks out at the hole, and swings a 6-iron confidently.
The ball lands even closer, only twelve feet from the
pin. "Excellent shot, Mr. President, practice nearly
makes perfect," says his caddie.
Finally, the 44th
President of the United States, the current President,
Barack Obama, eyes the flag from 137 yards away. He
chooses a 7-iron, swings gently, and watches eagerly as
his ball hits the front of the green and rolls to only
ten feet from the hole. His caddie high-fives the
president and yells, "You nearly aced it, Mr. President.
What a great shot!"
