Tiger Woods: Bill Clinton Cheats at Golf, Too

NewsMax ^ | 1 June 2006

Posted on by Aussie Dasher

In Arkansas for a children's golf clinic, Tiger Woods was asked about playing golf with former President Bill Clinton.

"Interesting math," Woods said, drawing a laugh before telling a story about a round the two played in February before the opening of the Tiger Woods Learning Center in Anaheim, Calif.

Woods described a hole on the back nine.

"President Clinton rolls one in the bushes, then hits another one off the tee ... right in the middle of the fairway, hits a nice little wedge shot up there to about, I don't know, 6-7 feet.

"I hit a bad pitch, I blasted it by about 12 feet. ... Then all of the sudden, he does one of these," Woods said, gesturing like a player picking up his ball.

"It was 6-7 feet and he walked off the green. ... So I'm sitting in the cart. He's writing down the numbers, I happen to kind of ..." Woods said, leaning back as if reading a scorecard over someone's shoulder.

"Woods 4, Clinton 3."

On a more serious note, Woods said playing with Clinton was fascinating.

"We had a good time," Woods said. "He was a cool person to play with, very intelligent. Brilliant, the things that he knew to describe world politics ... actually really remarkable."

Golfers who play 18 holes with Clinton no longer use the term "mulligan". They're called "billigans" now.



To: Aussie Dasher

It ain't a game if you cain't cheat...



To: Aussie Dasher

I'm sure the "hole I beat Tiger Woods" will be all the rage on the cocktail circuit. Kind of reminds me of Kim Jung Il in North Korea. Somewhere I read he claimed to shoot a 24 for 18 holes, or some ridiculous number like that.

That is not the first time. My former boss at work knows a person who was playing gold at the same course Clinton was playing at when he was President. He hit a ball into the rough and went to get it and their was President Clinton standing beside his ball. Clinton smiled said, "that is my ball" and pulled out another one from his pocket and said, "that is your ball." My boss's friend made the comment, "he cheats at golf to".



To: Vision

No surprise to me.







The surprise is that Tiger had the courage to mention it. I can see another Arkincide in the making. Clinton will not like this.



To: Aussie Dasher

I had someone who doesn't play golf, ask me why so many businessmen played.



My reply was is the best game to show you, your opponents character.



To: Aussie Dasher

I find it a bit difficult to believe that a 'competitor' like Tiger Woods thinks it is COOL to play with such an OBVIOUS CHEATER! Think about the diseased EGO necessary to play a round of golf with TIGER WOODS and CHEAT openly.

I'm sure the "hole I beat Tiger Woods" will be all the rage on the cocktail circuit. Exactly. I would personally like to see OJ Simpson play Bill Clinton in an 18 hole pay per view round... The BJ/OJ shootout!

There was an interesting show on C-SPAN2 recently in which the author of a book on golf-playing presidents (there have been 13 or 14 or them), read from his book and answered questions. He said that one of his chapters, which covered 4 presidents, was called "Hail to the Cheats". Clinton was one of the four cheaters. Another IIRC was Nixon; I forget the other two.

Back during the White House Travel Office scandal, there was a story about Clinton cheating at golf. In fact, one of his White House staffers was using a helicopter and other White House rewources to go golfing. If I recall correctly, he resigned.

Go back to when he first took office. He got caught cheating Chelsea in miniature golf.

This actually has been known for some time.



At a minimum he was notorious for taking frequent "mulligans".



To: Aussie Dasher

I'm surprised Clinton hasn't sold the scorecard on eBay.

I can see it now.....Clinton pulls this stunt on the 12th and disappears in the rough on the 13th. A nationally televised low speed chase on electric golf carts, with Al "Big Caddy" Cowlings driving.

I absolutely LOVE this article because it illustrates how dishonest salespeople can nevertheless charm people into buying nearly anything. First Tiger Woods tells us how he witnesses President Clinton blatantly cheat:



[Woods described a hole on the back nine. "President Clinton rolls one in the bushes, then hits another one off the tee ... right in the middle of the fairway, hits a nice little wedge shot up there to about, I don't know, 6-7 feet. "I hit a bad pitch, I blasted it by about 12 feet. ... Then all of the sudden, he does one of these," Woods said, gesturing like a player picking up his ball. "It was 6-7 feet and he walked off the green. ... So I'm sitting in the cart. He's writing down the numbers, I happen to kind of ..." Woods said, leaning back as if reading a scorecard over someone's shoulder. "Woods 4, Clinton 3."]





Then Woods tells us how charming Clinton was:



["We had a good time," Woods said. "He was a cool person to play with, very intelligent. Brilliant, the things that he knew to describe world politics ... actually really remarkable."]









Salespeople know that if they can charm you into liking them, then they can sell you crap-on-a-stick. Remember, politicians are just salespeople, selling public policy in exchange for votes.
