...President who plays the best darn game of golf possible, so TIME called in some experts for their advice. Below, Claude ("Butch") Harmon Jr.--famed swing doctor to Tiger Woods, Greg Norman and Davis Love III--gives his detailed suggestions for the presidential stroke. "The President has a decent swing. If he had more time to practice, it would be better," says Harmon. "I'm sure his swing is going to be better in four years."

Lars, a decent young fellow, and Christine, his friend who needs a kidney transplant, do not fall in love...
