Pat McCrory seemed like he was campaigning at the 19th hole today.
At his news conference, McCrory and Bob Orr cracked wise about the game and McCrory said he first got to know Fred Smith on the links.
Orr teed off first. He wore a golf shirt and held a ball cap.
"Contrary to what you might believe, I did not bring this hat in order to pass it today," Orr said. "I actually have a tee time at 1:20."
McCrory said he wished he could hit the links like Orr: "I am quite envious at this point in time."
And in explaining his friendship with Smith, McCrory said the two took a trip to the 2004 Republican National Convention in New York. The two went to Bethpage, a public course which hosted the 2002 U.S. Open.
"We played for about four holes before we got rained out in one of the most, the hardest golf course in the United States of America, which was the last thing any of us needed at the time."

Re: United through golf
"Golf is huge in NC no matter what economic status you are. Nice try with the class warfare attack, a true Democrat staple. Methinks you know McCrory's going to clean Bev Purdue's clock in November."
Sure it's class warfare. And republicans are the ones who started it.
Oh yes... I'm SOOOO worried about us Dems losing in November. Yep. Sure am. We've done a pretty bad job at winning governors races in NC for the last 16 years. Especially when we nominate someone from Charlot....oh wait a minute, sorry that's you guys.
