All that speculation surrounding Vice President Joe Biden’s future plans has got him thinking about the more serious consequences of running for president — like how it would affect his golf game.

Irish Prime Minister Enda Kenny invited Biden to lug his “golf sticks” to Ireland for a round Thursday night at the American Ireland Fund Gala, according to CNN.

“If you want to keep your handicap in golf don’t run for President. So I expect strokes,” Biden said. It wasn’t clear if he was trying to get a laugh, according to CNN.
