Гольф

Последние 8 лет мало что так раздражало критиков президента Барака Обамы, как его увлечение игрой в гольф. Гольфом увлекались многие недавние президенты, но почему-то игра Обамы в гольф вместо баскетбола вызывала особое раздражение.

Не отставал и другой заядлый игрок и владелец многочисленных гольф-клубов.

If Obama resigns from office NOW, thereby doing a great service to the country—I will give him free lifetime golf at any one of my courses!

While our wonderful president was out playing golf all day, the TSA is falling apart, just like our government! Airports a total disaster!

Согласно многим свидетельствам, Дональд Трамп мухлюет при игре в гольф. Но, откровенно говоря, было бы удивительней, если бы он играл честно.

Golf is an important thing. On that, we can all, Democrats and Republicans alike, agree. That is precisely why it is so troubling that a parade of accusers have come forward claiming Donald Trump—who wants to be our commander-in-chief—cheats at golf.

Гольф требует хладнокровия, терпения и точности - качеств, полезных для президентского темперамента.

One of the golfers who played with Mr. Obama said the way the president carried himself on the course provided significant insight into his character. “If you came down from Mars and saw his disposition on the golf course, you would think he would be a pretty good president,” the golfer said. “He’s honest, he keeps his composure through terrible adversity, he’s unruffled, he smiles, and he doesn’t quit.”

А увлечение гольфом иногда заставляет людей притворяться не теми, кто они есть, что иллюстрирует забавный эпизод из Curb Your Enthusiasm.

And he was.
