Obama Soon to Golf 100th Round- Guess When and Win $25!

In my post 3 months ago called Obama Golfs for 73rd Time While President I wrote:

...For the record, I haven't really ever mentioned before anything regarding President Obama playing golf. It is understandable for the guy to get out on the links from time to time and play a round- it is a great to unwind, get some exercise, discuss issues and policy outside of the office or simply make a better connection with someone, and if it is his hobby I really can't fault him for enjoying it so much.

But this last weekend President Barack Obama played his 73rd round of golf since taking office almost 3 years ago. That's a lot of golf- let's round it a bit and call it 25 rounds of golf a year, or a round a golf every other week on average. Although it isn't really fair to compare his amount of golf to President Bush because they are different people and had different hobbies, it is surprising to compare President Bush's 24 rounds in 8 years against Obama's 73 rounds in 3 years- that's a lot of golf...
In the last 4 months, Obama has golfed another 19 times- about 5 times a month, or an average of once a week. He's at 92 now, and nearing the 100 mark. And so in honor of our President breaking that historic barrier in golfing while in office, I want to encourage all of you to visit Doug Ross's site and speculate in his comment section on when Obama will hit the 100 golf rounds as President mark.

There is $25 in it if you guess right, as Doug is doing his part to lift America out of its recession while our President is doing his part as well- spending our taxpayer money to create jobs in the pro shop, golf ball making, grounds crew, ball washer, security guard, and lawn mowing industries. While Obama leaves his wife and kids at home and wacks a little white ball over a manicured and groomed grasses, let's do something to get America moving again and speculate on when he'll hit 100 rounds- visit Doug Ross and guess on his site and win a $25 cash prize (paid via PayPal) to the person who comes closest to guessing the date of Obama's 100th round of golf.

At least President Obama hasn't actually gone ahead though and appointed a golf czar like I thought he would!
