So in 2008, nearly 5 years after the incident Bush referred to as a trigger point for not playing golf through the remainder of his presidency, his recollection is a bit incorrect in that he did play a round a couple of months later. Five years later. It looks like he definitely stopped playing golf that particular day on hearing the news, and played at least once a couple of months later - but the jest of what he was saying was that there was a point at which he recognized appearances meant something - and he willingly put off an enjoyable pastime. So he didn’t clarify that it got him thinking and shortly thereafter he gave it up instead of instantaneously - memories blur a bit after five years.
Wow, you really showed him or her!
