			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Politico takes a look at what politicians do in their <a href="http://mobile.politico.com/story.cfm?id=29881&amp;cat=topnews" target="_blank">free time</a>&#8211;using campaign dollars:</p>
<blockquote><p>He should be, given the $82,998 his political action committee has spent on golf  outings so far this year, according to Federal <a id="GVLINK_1_0_1" href="http://mobile.politico.com/story.cfm?id=29881&amp;cat=topnews#">Election</a> Commission filings.</p>
<p>The  golf events this year sponsored by Boehner’s Freedom Project political action  committee have stretched from April until October, from <a href="http://ballotpedia.org/wiki/index.php/Florida" target="_blank">Florida</a> to <a href="http://ballotpedia.org/wiki/index.php/Ohio" target="_blank">Ohio</a>. And the  minority leader doesn’t hold his events at worn-out municipal <a id="GVLINK_2_0_0" href="http://mobile.politico.com/story.cfm?id=29881&amp;cat=topnews#">courses</a>. The most recent  outing was a $20,921.34 event at the plush Robert Trent Jones track in  Gainesville, Va., an invitation-only private club that was once also home to the  Professional Golfers <a id="GVLINK_3_0_2" href="http://mobile.politico.com/story.cfm?id=29881&amp;cat=topnews#">Association</a>&#8216;s President’s Cup.</p>
<p>The highest  expenditure was a September event at the Jack Nicklaus-designed Muirfield  Village Golf Club in Dublin, Ohio. The Freedom Project spent $29,501.20 for an  event on the course, which hosts the annual PGA Memorial Tournament.</p>
<p>Another favorite of Boehner’s PAC seems to be the Ritz-Carlton in  Naples, Fla., where the committee spent more than $30,000 in April and May. The  Tiburon Golf Course, a 36-hole course at the hotel, also hosts a professional  tournament each year.</p></blockquote>
<p>That hard work has paid off though.</p>
<blockquote><p>The United States Golf Association lists Boehner as maintaining a 7.9 handicap.</p></blockquote>
