Brady Riggs has always been one of my favorite writing pros. He had been involved with third-tier magazines before being snapped up by a first-tier magazine in 2007. Until today, I was a devotee. Now, I am adrift in the seas of disillusionmentationism. Riggs suggests, sadly, that B. Obama has the potential to become a good golfer, better than Clinton and Bush Junior. Here’s a link to his blog entry on the topic, accompanied by a video.

Honestly, it’s crap. There’s nothing smooth about Lefty’s abbreviated back swing, Cal Peete (without the diamonds in the teeth, before grilz became the rage) broken-armed backswing, and Charles Barkley lunge at the bottom. In fact, Obama starts lunging and lifting before he completes his back swing! For a guy who typically nails swing evaluations, Riggs got suckered by a need to smooch someone’s bottom.

Shame on you, Brady.
