Like Eisenhower, Kennedy played most of his golf at Burning Tree Cub in the Washington D.C. area. And despite criticizing Ike for his frequent golf, calling him the “Duffer in Chief,” Kennedy played enough to be a single-digit handicap. He was also a member of the Harvard golf team. Before JFK became president, he once nearly aced the 16th hole at Cypress Point, his 5-iron shot hitting the flagstick and ended up inches from the hole.
