Book Description

Amazon.com Review
There is a saying among golfers that if a man cheats in life, he may or may not cheat on the golf course, but if he cheats on the course, it's a gimme that he cheats everywhere. It thus behooves us to check into the golfing etiquette--or lack thereof--of the gentlemen elected to lead the United States, which is precisely what Shepherd Campbell and Peter Landau have done. With the exception of Herbert Hoover, Harry Truman, and Jimmy Carter, every president since William Taft has at least taken a shot at the game, and the way they've approached it reveals much about their character, competence, and ability to maintain a semblance of grace under pressure.

This review is from: Presidential Lies: The Illustrated History of White House Golf (Hardcover)
An enjoyable, enlightening read, Presidential Lies is great fun. It also makes a terrific gift for business contacts as well as that large body of people who are otherwise impossible to buy for. The book weaves its way through a picaresque landscape of 20th century American history and the game loved by many, but mastered by few. It's nice to learn how much we have in common with so many Presidents..
