most of the candidates don't appear to be big time golfers, but the game does come with the job... maybe that's an indication that one can't be President?

Comparison to Eisenhower in that article. Late obsession with golf. There is also a side by side of Bloomberg and Trump with the height disparity. Frankly not as bad as I thought.

Great picture of Pete with the golf bag over his shoulder. He looks the part even if he doesn't play much.

Everyone will thrill to dismiss this. It is representative toward how swing voters think. I was still in Las Vegas when John Kerry did the windsurfing during a break in the 2004 campaign. My friend Darrell laughed and laughed. He was a huge golfer and probably the #1 golf wagerer in town at that point. Darrell said, "Not many windsurfers where I come from. That will go over big."
