He played golf with the likes of Adam Scott, Greg Norman, Michael Jordan, etc. Clinton was used to certain presidential exceptions such as teeing off from a closer distance to the hole than his opponents. However, Jordan was having none of it. Jordan was right behind Clinton, making remarks on every shot.

A report from The Wall Street Journal reflects how Jordan was all over the acting president of the United States. Jordan coaxed him from the white tees to the championship tees by saying, ‘You’re going to play from the little girls’ tee?’ Jordan’s challenge was for Clinton to break 100; he did.”

Clinton remain unfazed and took this as motivation to break past 100. Even though Jordan was chirping like a bird, Clinton kept his head on the ball and defeated Jordan with his golfing skills.
