First Golfers: The Top 10

Woodrow Wilson
(1913–1921)

Surprisingly, Wilson and not Eisenhower was the President who logged the most rounds while in office. He played nearly every day, often with Dr. Cary T. Grayson, a good friend who had recommended that Wilson play regularly for his health. In all, Wilson played more than 1,000 rounds during his two terms, and during the winter, the Secret Service would paint the ball black so he could hit them around the White House. Despite all that effort, Wilson was not very good, rarely breaking 100.
