President Barack Obama and Bill Murray recently got together to film a commercial for HealthCare.gov at the White House and got in a little putting contest during the shoot. Murray says his knee is hurting at one point (from putting!) and that's where Obama interjects about government health insurance.

Obama couldn't buy a putt and Murray could not miss the entire time. He even asked Obama, "Where does Michelle keep your money? Which drawer is it in?" Obama went on Jimmy Kimmel Live recently to talk about the visit from Murray, who is a golf nut.

"He came into the Oval Office in a Cubs shirt," Obama said. "First of all, most people come in a shirt and tie. It was Bill Murray so I get no tie. He agreed to do a little social media skit about signing up ... people who didn't have health care ... because open enrollment is coming up. We decided we were going to putt on the carpet in the oval office. Somebody grabbed a glass so we were trying to putt in the glass. He won repeatedly! The glass was rigged. I was a little frustrated.

"What makes matters worse is he was giving me tips about putting. He's all, 'I think your right hand is a little too firm.' ... Bill, you're a comedian not a golfer. He took money from me. I paid him $5. Basically the whole visit was a disaster."
