JFK smooth on and off the course 😎

Nixon had a pretty good swing for being piss drunk all the time. JFK and Bush 2 probably have the best swings here.

That being said, it is clear that golf is an integral part of presidential history. In fact, presidents like Obama, Trump, Eisenhower, Kennedy, and Woodrow Wilson are said to be among those who played the maximum number of rounds during their presidency. Wilson, however, leads the list with a number over 1200.
