Michael Jordan Wrong About Obama's Golf Game ... Not That 'Sh**ty'

Published | Updated

Michael Jordan is dead wrong about Barack Obama's golf game ... with several sources telling TMZ Sports that the top man's skills are far better that the "sh**ty" rating MJ gave him.

His Airness spewed the trash-talk during an interview with Ahmad Rashad's Back9Network -- where he called Obama a "hack" and described the Prez's golf game as "sh**ty."

Well, we did some digging -- calling dozens of golf courses in states where Obama has played, and it turns out Barry ain't too bad ... turning in scores between 80 and 100 consistently.

Here are some of the reviews ...

Virginia: "He plays anywhere in the 80s on average. He's not horrible, but he certainly can't keep up with the best."

Maryland: "Our course is a little harder than the average one, and he hasn't ever broken 100 here. He's pretty awesome, though, to staff and visitors when he comes by -- a perfect politician."

Hawaii: "When he first started golfing, it was pretty rough. Surprisingly, though -- he's gotten significantly better. It's hit or miss with him, but he's around average. You have to give him credit, though ... it's a lot of pressure to have everyone watching "

Bottom line -- Obama's not the greatest golfer in the world ... but he ain't exactly crap, either.

Bruce Jenner Taunted on the Golf Course

Published | Updated

Bruce Jenner has been taunted where he golfs everyday ... by a few jerks who think Bruce's new look doesn't belong on the links or in the locker room.

Sources connected with Bruce tell TMZ ... almost everyone who golfs with Bruce at his country club in Thousand Oaks has been gracious ... but several people are acting like 14-year-old boys.

In one case ... a golfer passed Bruce on the green and screamed out, "How's your d**k" ... suggesting it might not be there much longer. Bruce was cool -- he laughed and responded by pointing to his crotch and saying, "It's right here. It hasn't worked in 20 years."

Another guy heckled Bruce in the locker room, mocking his ombre hairstyle and threatening to cut it off.

Bruce still goes to the club religiously, and most people treat him warmly and with respect.

As for the 2 idiots ... it's 2014, and people have a right to live their lives the way they want as long as they don't hurt anyone. And Bruce can probably kick their asses in golf.
