Just like "The American President"

Herald Sun: Clinton's battle of Medway [25feb06]:

"Head club pro John Dixon took the phone call from Mr Clinton's people, but thought it was a hoax."

That the pro at Medway Golf Club in Maidstone, Victoria, didn't believe the call from Clinton's advance team is nothing to fault him for. What is unfortunate is that he and the club have said they would have interrupted their scheduled ladies tournament to accommodate the former "Groper-in-Chief" if they had realized the request was genuine.

The movie reference is to the trouble Michael Douglas has making phone calls to Annette Benning and a flower shop clerk - neither believes it really is the president calling her on the phone. The film "The American President" came from Aaron Sorkin who later produced the TV show "The West Wing." The main difference between the two was that Martin Sheen got promoted from Chief of Staff to POTUS.
