Fore! Obama Skips 8th Hole To Avoid TV Cameras & Photographer
Barack Obama skipped the 8th hole rather than be filmed by TV crews at the Vineyard Golf Course on Friday.
The Boston Globe reported:
But it was later, at the Vineyard Golf Course in Edgartown, where the president’s recalcitrance was most evident. Approaching the eighth tee in a golf cart with friend and frequent golfing buddy Eric Whitaker, the president noticed three TV cameras and a Globe photographer across the street. Rather than stop and be photographed teeing off, the president skipped the hole.
But he couldn’t escape all of the cameramen.
