Obama's week includes visit with Woods, golf

The world's top professional golfer visited the White House and President Barack Obama earlier this week. It turns out it might've even given our 44th Commander in Chief a little inspiration on Sunday.

According to the Associated Press, Obama played his first round of golf since taking oath on Sunday in Washington. Deciding to take advantage of the pleasant weather conditions on the East coast, Obama's first tee time was scheduled on the course at the Andrews Air Force Base, and it wasn't exactly a dream foursome:
"Joining the president were Commerce Secretary Gary Locke, U.S. Trade Representative Ron Kirk and presidential aide Marvin Nicholson."
I can only imagine what topics of conversation would come up in such a star-studded cast of Washington elites. Trash-talking —
likely replaced by economic chatter and discussion on overseas warfare — surely was at a minimum.

Woods was in Washington on Monday for a press conference at the AT&T National, the tournament he hosts annually on the PGA Tour.

Updates to come if I am able to find an official scorecard from Obama's round Sunday.

Back with more early this week leading up to Quail Hollow's opening round.
