Obama Plays Water Guzzling Desert Golf Courses Amid California Drought
[Time] President Champ traveled to California Friday to highlight the states drought emergency at two events near Fresno, calling for shared sacrifice to help manage the states worst water-shortage in decades. He then spent the rest of the weekend enjoying the hospitality of some of the states top water hogs: desert golf courses.Vacationing with DVDs of his favorite television shows and multiple golf outings with his buddies, the duffer-in-chief played at two of the most exclusive courses in the Palm Springs area. On Saturday, Champ played at the Sunnylands estate, built by the late billionaire Walter Annenberg, which features a nine-hole course that is played like 18 holes. The following day he golfed at billionaire Oracle founder Larry Ellisons 19-hole Porcupine Creek. On Presidents Day, Champ hit the links at Sunnylands once again. Posted by: Besoeker 2014-02-18 |
