Gerald Ford

Ford was a much better golfer than most people have been led to believe. He regularly broke 90. Ford was the first president to join the U.S. Golf Association and was honorary chairman of the first Presidents Cup, in 1994. One cool Ford golf story: After he pardoned Richard Nixon, the first thing he did was go to the opening of the World Golf Hall of Fame and play a round with Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer and Gary Player.
