Obama plays round of golf with 3 senators

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama took his congressional outreach effort to the green on Monday by playing a round of golf with a bipartisan trio of senators, including one who sank a hole-in-one.

The pressure of playing with a president who rarely invites lawmakers along to golf didn't seem to intimidate Sen. Saxby Chambliss, R-Ga., who aced the 11th hole. Rounding out the foursome were Sens. Bob Corker, R-Tenn., and Mark Udall, D-Colo.

Obama took the senators to a favorite course at Maryland's Andrews Air Force Base, where he frequently plays on weekends with aides and friends. He once took along House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, and has also included Rep. Jim Clyburn, D-S.C., but this was his first outing with any lawmaker in his second term.

"We had a delightful day of golf with folks who enjoy playing the game," Chambliss said in a statement from his office, which disclosed the hole-in-one. "We talked some business, but it was mainly a day for everyone to get away from the office for a little while."
