President-elect Obama relaxed in Hawaii today by playing a round of golf. He looked pretty sporty in a white golf shirt, khaki shorts, a Secret Service cap and shades. My deputy managing editor was critical of the cargo shorts but I think he needed the big pockets to store extra balls because he acknowledged to reporters that “I’m not that good.” He did adopt the look of fellow southpaw Phil Mickelson by wearing his watch while playing, something Mr. Fairway never does. I also liked part of his snack at the turn – hot dogs, orange soda, Coke and Powerade. But he also purchased something called a “Spam musabi,” described as a local specialty that features the aforementioned mystery meat and a fried egg on a bed of rice and held together with a seaweed wrap. Yuck. No word what Obama shot on the par 72 Olomana Golf Links, a public course which is only 6,326 yards from the championship tees.
Hitting range balls while wondering whatever happened to Ken Still.
