(Actually, Lefty and four other Ryder Cup teammates didn’t make it.)
(Image: Clint L/Flickr)U.S. Ryder Cup Captain Paul Azinger, assistant captain Raymond Floyd and seven Ryder Cup team members stopped by the White House on Monday for a photo op with President George W. Bush. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, an avid golfer, was also on hand.
The team presented President Bush with a personalized Ryder Cup golf bag, a Sunday red golf shirt and sweater vest worn by the team and a Ryder Cup money clip.
That’s cool. Now why I didn’t think about inviting them to my office?

Hmm, a no-show by 'Lefty'. I wonder if his nickname is indicative of Phil's political stance as well as from what side of the ball he plays?
I neither know nor care what Mickelson's political leanings are and I'm not a great fan of his as a golfer. Having said that, I do consider him a gracious, intelligent human being who no doubt would have been there had he not had scheduling problems. The comment by 14 Stix, while probably made in jest, seems a bit unfair.
Yeah, Phil has been playing overseas. So has Kim. Must have been a scheduling thing.
I guess then...."A birdie in hand is worth more than a Bush."
