We mix sports and poltics in this insightful book. Not as new as I hoped it was when I saw Tim Russert (aka The Smarm) interview the author.
Similiar books have been out there (see below) but this one is another one that takes POTUS golfing habits to mean something of their greater character and their possible leadership qualities when President.
Perhaps the most interesting segment was the one I heard about on CNBC when President Gerald Ford, President Bill Clinton and President George H.W. Bush and Bob Hope took themselves out on the course for Hope's golf classic.
FROM AMAZON - customer review
I'm a classic golf widow who happened to pick this book up in the bookstore for my husband. He loved it. But, to my surprise, I loved it, too. I wound up learning a lot more about presidents, and what makes them tick, than I ever expected. It's a breezy, fun read, full of quirky surprises and amusing anecdotes. Rather than bore you with too much golf lingo, the book actually brings the game and the presidents to life without tumbling into cliches. I highly recommend it.
