You’d think with all the time President Obama spends playing golf, he might actually be good at it.

Not so, says Michael Jordan.

The Bulls great and avid golfer was asked by Ahmad Rashad on the Back 9 Network about his ideal foursome, and he made a point to say Obama wouldn’t be included.

“Arnie Palmer. I’ve never played with Obama, but I would. But that’s OK, I’d take him out. He’s a hack. I’d be out there all day playing with him. I never said he wasn’t a great politician, I am just saying he’s a sh—y golfer.”

Marvin Nicholson, who regularly plays with Obama, told Golf Digest that the president “usually shoots in the mid-90s.”  A Golf Concierge list of celebrity golfers has Jordan’s handicap at 4, which means he’s shooting in the mid- to high-70s.
