TIGER WOODS JOINS VACATIONING OBAMA FOR GOLF ROUND

PALM CITY, Fla. (AP) — President Barack Obama played golf Sunday with Tiger Woods, the White House said Sunday. Once the sport's dominant player before his career was sidetracked by scandal, Woods joined Obama at the Floridian, a secluded and exclusive yacht and golf club on Florida's Treasure Coast where Obama is spending the long Presidents Day weekend. The two had met before, but Sunday was the first time they played together. The White House has prohibited media coverage of Obama's weekend golf outing.

The foursome also included Jim Crane, a Houston businessman who owns the Floridian and baseball's Houston Astros, and outgoing U.S. Trade Representative Ron Kirk, a former mayor of Dallas, said White House spokesman Josh Earnest. Crane and Kirk also were part of Obama's foursome on Saturday, the White House said. Obama, an avid golfer, also received some instruction Saturday and played a few holes with Butch Harmon, Woods' former swing coach.

本来はゴルフ部所属のゼミ生が書けばいいのですが、 foursomeは「4 人が 2 組に分かれ,各組が 1 個ずつのボールを使って交互に打つ競技法」のことだそうです。singleの反意ですね。(UG)
