A Quick Nine: Best military courses
Since the inception of PGA.com's, 'A Quick Nine,' feature, we've tried to make it a point to highlight beautiful areas of the country, or fantastic courses that you might not otherwise know about. That will continue.
In fact, it continues right now. This week, we asked our servicemen and servicewomen golfers -- and anyone else who could help: What is the best golf course on a Military Base?
3. Eisenhower at the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colo. From its website: Eisenhower Golf Club is situated adjacent to the USAF Academy Chapel and cadet dormitories. Constructed in large part from a donation made by the AFAF in the amount of $250,000 in 1958, Eisenhower Golf Club's Blue Course is rated among the highest of all courses in the Department of Defense. The winding fairways, well groomed greens, and the natural wonder of roaming wildlife make the Blue and Silver Courses two of the most scenic 36 Holes in Colorado. Eligible users of the Eisenhower Golf Club include: Active Duty, Retired military, Reservists, National Guard, NAF, DoD Government employees, USAFA cadets/Prep School students, USAFA Contractors with valid I.D. cards and their guests.
Facebook quotes: Bayonet if not turned over to Seaside, CA with FT Ord closure would definitely be on the best Militray Course list if not topping it. Just played it recently on a trip to Cali and they have definitely given it more eye appeal by clearing out a lot of the lower branches on what used to be very thick, bushy, pine trees and made the fairways beautiful with the crosscut fairways. Still plays quite tough though even with the clearing of the underbrush.
The Golf Summit — BagNews
1. I’m curious how Boehner — the hard-core golfer — seems to wear those baggy shorts on the golf course, like he can’t afford real golf duds. It wouldn’t have to do with the fact he’s trying to downplay the elitism, is it, more closely imitating weekend duffers on the public links?
2. Obama has had his own visual agenda on the manicured lawns. As the first African-American president, one with the foreign name who rode into Washington with the supposedly liberal pedigree, Obama’s fascination with golf, and particularly, golf photo-ops (yeah, what happened to those bball games?) can be seen to reassure conservatives and and the establishment, in the most symbolic way, that he’s a member of the club. Since elected, he’s been featured time and again on the White House Flickr site doing the golf thing. The first slide above (click for full size) is from this weekend’s “golf summit” with Boehner. The rest of the slide show is just a sampling of my favorites from the WH Flickr stream.
3. As much as Obama preaches and practices bipartisanship, and is fanatic about patronizing the opposition, he hasn’t been known to actually spend much time, especially social time, wooing the other side. As he engages the campaign, however, Obama seems to be going out of his way to not just butter up his antogonists, but to also co-opt them in appealing to the middle-right electorate. Fore!

There was a scene in Fahrenheit 911 with Bush on the golf course. He calls on national leaders to help him fight the terrorist menace, then he holds up a golf club and declares, Now watch this drive . Months later, Bush decided to give up golf altogether, possibly because it made him look insensitive to the situation in Iraq.
