A reader wrote in the other day, wondering about President Obama’s golf handicap. He plays all the time, but not much is known about his game. Time reported he plays a dollar a hole, with a military aide holding the nuclear football hovering nearby. How relaxing.

There is no official golf handicap for the president. It’s one of those elusive mysteries about Obama. Estimates range from 16 to 24, according to various reports. A golf blog recently took issue with Obama for playing five hours without finishing the game.
