Sports Just How Well Does Condoleezza Rice Play Golf?

Just How Well Does Condoleezza Rice Play Golf?Wednesday, 29 Aug 2012 | 5:17 PM ET by Lee Brodie, Producer Condoleezza Rice was one of the first of two women ever admitted to Augusta National Golf Club, the home of the Masters tournament. So what's this golfer's handicap?
Condoleezza Rice's Golf Handicap, Revealed! If 14 is higher than you might have expected, it appears Rice is relatively new to the game; that her fondness for golf developed somewhat later in life. Although a relative newcomer, Rice's handicap may soon look more like that of a pro. Rice also told CNBC that over the summer she's played golf 2 to 3 times a week. And she specifically told Larry Kudlow, "If I can get better from 100 yards in, my handicap, --it'll plummet!" Rice is no stranger to athletic contests. As a teen she pursued figure skating very seriously and later she became an avid tennis player. It appears, however, golf is her passion now. Rice told Golf Digest in an interview last year. “To me, the best part of golf is that unlike my tennis game, I can actually get better. I’ve probably reached my plateau in tennis, but in golf, I have a lot of room for improvement. " |

She must be very talented to be a 14 handicapper in 7 years at her age.
Or politicians have different handicap system.. like a rubber yard stick?
My handicap is ever rising as I get older. I wish I knew how to make it plummet. -

Interesting article.
Condi's handicap is 14?
She still can improve as she said.
She is just only 58, born in 1954.
I have been fascinated since
I read her autobiography -
"Condi" about 10 years ago. -

골프시작한지 7년이고 58세이고 골프가 재미있어서 일주일에 세번씩 친다는 Condoleeza는

For the last couple of days, we had been in hot water with politics.
Now, let's cool down and look at the easier and less crazier side of life.
What about Condoleezza's golf. Have I picked the right stuff?
I don't know what Lee Brodie (the writer) may be, he doesn't seem to know much
about the strange game of golf. He's expecting her to be a pro level very soon.
For a women to be a 14 hadicapper, don't tell me she's a new comer in the game.
I know a lot of ladies who played golf for almost 30 years
and they may be only a couple of strokes better or worse than Condi.
As for Condi herself, she's full of confidence (just like any polititian with a delusion of grandeur).
"If I can get better from 100 yards in, my handicap, --it'll plummet!". Oh my god, really?
“To me, the best part of golf is that unlike my tennis game, I can actually get better."
Wow, she thinks she's "actually" getting better in golf as she gets older !!
"I’ve probably reached my plateau in tennis, but in golf, I have a lot of room for improvement."
One time, I thought I could be a single handicapper before the end of the year.
I just wonder if she deserves a membership in the Augusta National GC.
Being one of the speakers in the National Republican Convention has to be a great help.
If one happens to be a speaker in the National Democratic Convention, forget the membership there
but you can join me in my $8 per round golf club.
