President Kennedy,
considered the best of our Presidential golfers sported a 7 handicap
at the peek of his golfing career. Known for his ability to pull off some
miraculous recovery shots President Kennedy earned a the reputation
of a strong competitor early in his golfing career leading Harvard
past Yale in a heavily contested collegiate golf match.
When playing golf with his father and brothers JFK preferred playing at Hyannisport Golf Club and Palm Beach Golf Club. As a US Senator and President he was certainly no stranger to Burning Tree Club and Chevy Chase Clubs in Maryland.
