Over the weekend, during President Obama’s weeklong vacation on Martha’s Vineyard, he took to the green with comedian Larry David. Because nothing helps the mind rest quite like nine holes with The Fussiest. The two were joined by former U.S. Trade Representative Ron Kirk and private equity investor Glenn Hutchins.

Attorney General Eric Holder, National Security Adviser Susan Rice and Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett were also in attendance.
We can only speculate, but it probably went exactly like this:
