Throughout his football career, Peyton Manning has been in countless high-pressure situations. But none of them compare to standing on the first tee with a former president.
Manning told a story of playing golf with Barack Obama, who was a special guest during Monday’s meeting. ManningCast transmission. According to Manning, the couple was golfing at the Riviera Country Club in Los Angeles, which has a strict “no mulligan” rule. As onlookers watched, Obama drove a ball down the middle of the street, pressuring Manning to do the same. However, the two-time Super Bowl champion couldn’t, as he spiked into the out-of-bounds area under the tee.
Fortunately for Manning, the presidential authority supersedes club rules, as Obama declared the former quarterback was allowed to play again.
“It was the least I could do, man,” Obama said after Manning thanked him. “Because I felt bad for you.”
Fortunately for Manning, he was not above feeling sorry for the former president. Manning ended up beating Obama that day, though Obama said his game has improved since then and that he was ready for a rematch. If and when that rematch comes, maybe Obama will let Manning play first and take some of the pressure off the first hole.
