“Boehner often says that on the golf course, you can’t hide who you really are."
/Obama's gotten a lot of scrutiny for his golf even though Boehner plays his fair share, so this unbylined AP story is worth nothing for a few reasons, none moreso though than for this item about his putting. Plug in your metaphors here.
Boehner didn’t take up golf until he was in his 30s and working for a plastics company. When the owner died, he left Boehner a set of clubs. He’s never been picture-pretty: He originally played left-handed and still putts that way, but now he swings from the other side — a politician who works both the right and the left, at least in a golfing sense.
