Apparently, according to President Barack Obama, Derek Jeter is as good at hustling on the field as he is off of it.

In speaking with guests at a fundraiser, the president said that the former New York Yankees shortstop swindled him out of a few bucks at a golf tournament:

“He and Derek Jeter stole money from me at Shadow Creek,” Obama said of [Brian] Greenspun, referring to the course in North Las Vegas. “It was clearly a set up, because when we got to the practice range, he was shanking balls everywhere. I said, ‘You play golf Derek?’ And he said, ‘I just started two weeks ago.’”

They gave Jeter 30 strokes, Obama said, but he realized that was a mistake as soon as they were on the first hole. Jeter crushed him, he said.

“We had to take a picture of me handing Derek Jeter money at the end of the game. Despite that, Brian is a great friend.”

Just like when an outfielder robs a home run, sometimes you just have to tip your cap.
