Stayed at Kingsmill Resort last weekend and played the River Course where the LPGA plays each year and posted a round of 92 from the white tees.
But the most interesting thing was that the President was staying in a house 30 yards from our condo. While playing with two members, they told us the President was coming in to the resort and work on his debate and that it was going to be very low key. We checked in after our round and headed over to our condo. In the parking lot was two blacked out SUV’s with guys in black suits sitting in the running trucks. Two hours later I went out to get more stuff out of our car and they were still there. The next morning there was 5 trucks, secret service agents around the house next to us and in our back yard. We went out for the day and on the way back into the resort, every car entering the resort was searched and had bomb sniffing dogs checking out the cars. The secret service agents were staying above us and were stationed around the house the President was staying in and there was always 1 to 5 Secret Service guys in our back yard which was a little creepy. I did walk out into the back yard and ask one S.S. guy if the Prez was playing golf and he didn't know, we talked for a few minutes and I went back in. They shut down the back end of the resort and we needed to get patted down when we went to dinner at the restaurant which was on the other side of the house he was staying at. At least for two nights we were in the safest place on earth.
How cool would it have been to play golf with the President!
