George W. Bush and his father, President Bush, play what they call polo golf, cart golf, electric golf -- there are lots of different names for it, but basically it's blindingly fast play. They don't wait or dawdle between shots. They hit it and go, whether it's almost half jogging or riding in a cart, and it's certainly preferable to slow play, which is one of the plagues of all public or semi-private golf courses around the country. Golfers will know what I mean when I say that.
More Quotes from Harry Hurt:
He's the only major party candidate who plays golf. Reform Party candidate Donald Trump plays golf and claims to have a single digit handicap, but I think we've learned to take everything he says with a grain of salt.Harry Hurt
Golf has been used by presidents and presidential candidates for years. For example, President Eisenhower was the first president in office to really associate himself with golf. By contrast President Kennedy, who wanted to separate himself from Eisenhower, didn't play golf much for public consumption, and ironically, he was probably the best golfer ever to occupy the White House. He was able to break 70 and shoot in the low 80's on a consistent basis.

It was deft political stroke that I think gained G.W. Bush lots of points with voters and golfers all around the country.

State government has too often been used to look out for the insiders and not the citizens. This has insulated poverty from progress, and need from remedy.
