WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama took his congressional outreach effort to the green on Monday, playing a round of golf with a bipartisan trio of senators.

Democrat Sen. Mark Udall of Colorado and Republican Sens. Saxby Chambliss of Georgia and Bob Corker of Tennessee joined Obama for a round at Maryland's Andrews Air Force Base, where Obama frequently plays golf on weekends with aides and friends. Under overcast skies, the three chatted casually with Obama, wearing a windbreaker and baseball cap. They putted on the first green before leaving the view of reporters on a pair of golf carts.

The afternoon outing added a recreational twist to Obama's months-long effort to strengthen ties with lawmakers, hoping some quality face time now can lay the groundwork for compromise on pressing issues down the road.

"He's looking for partners anywhere he can find them — including on the 8th hole," said White House press secretary Jay Carney.

I am sick and tired of all of the golf chatter. I think the next time I have to vote for a Senator or Congressman, the first thing I am going to check is “do they play golf?”. If so, they will not get my vote because they are more interested in status and image than in good government. I am not against golf but I am totally against slouchy, lazy Senators and Representatives that are impressed with themselves.
