It\u2019s obvious how near and dear the sport of golf<\/a> is to our current president. It\u2019s nearly impossible to be involved in the golfing community without seeing Trump splayed across course signage and news headlines. But, The Donald isn\u2019t the first Commander-in-Chief to take charge of his golf game.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s easier to list the presidents who didn\u2019t play. (Teddy Roosevelt, Herbert Hoover, Harry Truman, and Jimmy Carter, were the only non-golfing ones, according to The Atlantic<\/em><\/a>.) And when political leaders tee up, they\u2019re just like us. They get excited over a great lie and they get business done. Golf breaks down political walls. Leaders get to talk golfer-to-golfer rather than leader-to-leader with sand traps being the most intimidating enemy out there.<\/p>\n

But golfing while in-office is a double-edged sword. Play too much and the public thinks you have an absentee leader; play too little and you\u2019re somewhat unrelatable. Ronald Reagan was known for counting every single stroke in a play \u2013 no gives \u2013 and Barack Obama was extremely personable. On the other hand, Eisenhower was notorious for improving his lie in order to \u201cidentify his ball.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"how<\/p>\n

However, golf continues to play a large role in the realm of decision making. In fact, it\u2019s pretty unavoidable when the president himself<\/a> owns 17 courses.<\/p>\n

So, we\u2019ll continue to listen with perked ears and bated breath, in the spirit of competition, of course! Because while Trump\u2019s handicap of 2.8 may be a little tough to hit, Obama\u2019s reported 13, George W. Bush\u2019s and Clinton\u2019s 10 since leaving office, and Ronald Reagan\u2019s healthy 12 are great numbers to beat!<\/p>\n
