Washington, Dec. 31: U. S. President-elect Barack Obama may be preparing to take over at the White House from outgoing George W Bush, but there is no question that the latter is a much better golfer than Obama.

Footage of Obama on the driving range during a well-earned holiday in Hawaii revealed him to be nervy as he addressed the ball and lifting his head before the shot is completed.

According to The Telegraph, Bush by contrast, has a sturdy, almost fluid swing that would not sit uncomfortably with most club professionals.

Bush tees up his shot in more ways that one with the line: "Now watch this drive". He doesn't disappoint.

A smooth action sees him pivot on his hips and strike clean through the ball and confirm that there is at least one area in which his actions and words come together in happy and effective union. (ANI)
