One tees off from the the campaign train platform and must play through the field of special interests. The ball must drop into the toilet seat at the door to the Capitol building. The ball emerges from the plumbing under the building and must then navigate a field of lobbyists and the Hillary Washington Monument. With Monica an Paula cheering from the sidelines, you play through the iron gates and onto the green in front of he White house for a par 3, if you are lucky. A hole-in-one is entirely possible and has been accomplished on many occasions.
