Golfers Take Aim at Obama’s Face at St. Louis Driving Range
Posted by Jim Hoft on Tuesday, October 2, 2012, 11:05 AM
Area golfers have the opportunity to drive a ball into President Obama’s face at the First Tee Driving Range in St. Louis.
Romney’s face is also available but the Obama sign has more dents.
FOX 2 Now reported:
It’s not what golfers were expecting. When they pulled into the driving range there were giant targets about 75 yards out. One was a photo of President Obama and the other was a photo of his challenger, Mitt Romney.
“This is all fun, just all for fun,” said Paula Hediger, owner of First Tee Driving Range in south St. Louis County.
She tested the idea with a few golfers and found the feedback so positive she has decided to keep the targets.
“It’s amazing how many people sit and talk and joke about it,” said Hediger.
Some golfers wanted to make a political statement others were simply working on their game.
“I gave up on politics a long time ago,” said one golfer.
Another golfer took a different point of view.
“3 wood, 5 wood it doesn’t matter, hit him in the face.”
By the end of day one, the sign with the President’s picture had 13 dents while the sign with Romney’s photo has 12.

Well, yeah, it kinda does matter since it’s a lot harder to keep a 5 wood down low enough to hit a sign at 75 yards than it is a 3 wood.
Personally, I’d pull out a 4 iron and play it back in my stance.

Uh hoh my god…That is hilarious.
It seems one target was much more popular than the other.

Guess right-handed golfers are aiming for Barry. Should be a cloud of smoke around his mug, eh?
paul52 commented:
All in fun, Tommy. Laughter is the best medicine. Kinda like those charity deals when you hit to hit a car with a sledgehammer. Take a deeeeeep breath…. let it gooooo.

I wholeheartedly agree. Brings back memories of saving my allowance so I could buy tickets at the school fair….you know…..hit the target and watch the Principle fall into the water tank….all in good fun.

#12 mary…thank you for that example of liberal civility.
kato commented:
I wish we got full disclosure. How many more balls were hit to the right in order to hit the man of the left?
I commented:
With my luck I’d aim for Barry and accidently hit Mittens.
Mary had a little dog commented:
Can’t take a little ribbing? Geez, who’s acting like a lib?
Just remember, your sanctimonious PC attitude has helped cultivate the hamstrung environment we’re in…thank YOU very much.
I’ll just consider that, since myself and others on this thread have poked at you a little, you’re just a wee bit sensitive. But remember, all the finger wagging and admonishing is not going you make you the victor!…now be off with you!
