Presidents and Golf
As the country welcomes a new president, we thought it would be fun to take a look at presidents and their love of golf. Brent Kelley of About.com Golf wrote an interesting blog post on the topic, and he notes that “Calvin Coolidge was the worst of the golfing presidents, and that John F. Kennedy was the best. There’s no question that Dwight Eisenhower – an Augusta National member – was the most-dedicated golfer.”
So far the general consensus is that President Elect Obama is a so-so golfer. Check out this YouTube video (Barack Obama Golf) of his swing. What do you think? I guess he’ll have to prove his skills both on the course and off!
If the president elect is only hitting a 200 yard drive I think I could beat
him (at golf) – clarification so the secret service does not miscontrue this
as a threat).
