Ike was named Golfweek’s Golfer of the Century in 2000 and was a member of Augusta National Golf Club. As president, Eisenhower installed a putting green on the White House lawn and during his eight years in office played some 800 rounds. While his handicap never reached single-digits, he did team with Arnold Palmer, a frequent playing partner of his, to win a charity event in 1964.
