The most golf-mad US Presidents of all time

Franklin D. Roosevelt

In office: 1933-1945

FDR was a notoriously passionate golfer and, in college, became the club champion at Campobello Island Golf Club in New Brunswick, Canada.

He would often play with other politicians in Washington but, sadly, had to give up the game after contracting polio at the age of 39.

Roosevelt left a legacy with the federal funding of public-works projects, which included dozens of municipal golf courses, like Bethpage State Park in New York and FDR Golf Club in Philadelphia.
