From William Taft, the 27th President, who introduced golf to the White House, through Donald Trump, golf has remained a popular pastime among Presidents. During the Great Depression, Herbert Hoover felt it was inappropriate to be seen on the golf course. George Bush respectfully curtailed his playing while troops were in Afghanistan and Iraq. From golf-related patents to photographs of Presidents golfing, the National Archives holds many records related to the sport and we are pleased to present a selection of golf related products at the National Archives Store.
