Even while retired the great former New York Yankees captain Derek Jeter continues to hustle. This includes the President.
By Robby Sabo
The art of hustling is one only few can pull off. It’s a tough chore.
Not only do you have to act and look like you have no idea what you’re doing, the follow through with flawless execution takes much work.
Even President Barack Obama can by subject to a hustler. And apparently even former New York Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter can be the hustler.
In what was supposed to be a friendly day of golf, Obama now says he believe’s Jeter hustled him.
Via Edward-Isaac Devere of Politico:
“[Las Vegas Sun owner Brian Greenspun] and Derek Jeter stole money from me at Shadow Creek,” Obama said of Greenspun, referring to the course in North Las Vegas. “It was clearly a setup, because when we got to the practice range, he was shanking balls everywhere. I said, ‘You play golf Derek?’ And he said, ‘I just started two weeks ago.'”
They gave Jeter 30 strokes, Obama said, but he realized that was a mistake as soon as they were on the first hole. Jeter crushed him, he said
“We had to take a picture of me handing Derek Jeter money at the end of the game. Despite that, Brian is a great friend.”
So, either Jeter lied about being a beginner or he’s a natural. It’s one of the other. The reason I know this is due to the numerous reports of Obama golfing.
It actually seems he must be decent (with the time he spends on his game).
You can make the man (Jeter) retire. You can’t take the competitiveness out of the man.
