Bill Clinton snubbed downunder

"An army of senior golfers have shot down a former US president in the Battle of Medway.

Maidstone's Medway Golf Club refused former president Bill Clinton a round of golf on Thursday because the crowded course was hosting its midweek championships.

The rejected Mr Clinton instead played at Sanctuary Lakes Golf Club at Point Cook, where he happily signed autographs and posed for photos.

The incident has left Medway red-faced, but yesterday members were standing firm on their presidential snub.

"We can't deprive the paying members of their golf, even for an ex-president," said 62-year-old member Wendy Alley. "But it would have been a buzz for the ladies. There's no Monica Lewinsky here -- we're better."

Ms Alley's regular golf partner, Lorraine Bramley, agreed: "We would have played with him -- golf, that is."

Head club pro John Dixon took the phone call from Mr Clinton's people, but thought it was a hoax.

"Being our midweek championships, I politely told him we didn't have room," Mr Dixon told the Herald Sun."

Why isn't there a yaaaaahhhhwn emoticon?

Good on Medway. Why would they want a known cheater playing on their greens during a competion. It would have been in bad form, the spirit of a competion going on with a cheater in their midst. By cheater I don't mean his sexual behavior I mean he is know to cheat on his golf scorecard. Why would a man of that stature have to cheat? Oh wait it is the positition which holds the statue not the individual in his case.

Clinton was the best president ever, get over it. And he got a BJ in the oval office. Try to beat that with your frustrated

stuck up GW Bush

I think they are the same person. It's called a reverse troll where you create a "contrarian" identity to oppose everything you say.
