      Actually, southpaw used to have a really negative connotation. If you were left handed in boxing, you were seen as useless, you pretty much were marked as someone who couldn't box, even if you could. This sentiment was likely reversed by the "Rocky" films, but surely should revert to how it used to be used after Obama's presidency. Haha

    I suppose Politics is too hot a subject these days to update this video to include President Trump. But we know how he loves Golf and promotes the game, owning golf courses and other things.

      That’s what I was thinking Trump is definitely the best golfing president

      Number one in lying and cheating blatantly, and not caring how dumb he actually appears. He would rather pay people to comement himself the way he is out of sheer laziness. Imo.

    I'm the kind of PERSON who likes watching famous people play. Whether you are a WOMAN or MAN, watching a president play would be memorable. Even if someone asked you to recall it later, very few could remember it all. Fortunately, a CAMERA would film it and you could watch it again on TV.
