11. Here's something I haven't seen discussed on this board yet. Have you all noticed

he's not played golf in the last few weeks? This is something that's always on his public schedule, and for some reason, he hasn't managed to hit the links lately.

Look, aside from money, fame, and sex, is there anything this guy loves more than golf? Certainly way more than any member of his own family. I'm finding this rather curious.

Full disclosure - I'm a very active 55-year-old who has been a golfer for 40 years, and I had to put my own play on the shelf around June of this year as the result of a specific injury, tearing in one of the tendons of my right forearm, so I've undergone treatment and am in the midst of a multi-month rehab process. If anything like this was the reason for his absence, I can't imagine why he or anyone around him would want to be less than 100% transparent.

This episode makes me wonder if the symptoms that led him to Walter Reed yesterday have been scaring him sufficiently to the point where he was afraid to even go out onto the course.
