The page also notified fans about a very important golfing fact about John F Kennedy. “Kennedy was a single-digit handicap golfer, sporting a 7 handicap at the peak of his golfing career.” The video is a big hit among fans who are also appreciating the style of George Bush.

As the media surrounds him, Bush makes an important political request and then with style says, “Now watch this drive”, and then proceeded with a solid shot. Fans were quick to choose their choice of the former president as their favorite golfer.

Another fan wrote, “Bush and JFK got some smooth swings.”

This fan loved Bush’s one-liner. “Now watch this drive” destroys me every time.”
This fan picked Kennedy. “Kennedy had a broken back and still outplayed every president in history. The best president in my lifetime.”
Kennedy was a popular choice among fans, as it turned out. “The only right answer is JFK single digit handicap, he is on record as the best presidential golfer.”
Another wrote: “It’s definitely George Dub-ya. Heck of a drive”
One suggested, “Kennedy looked the smoothest”
Kennedy was undoubtedly a big hit. “Kennedy in a heartbeat. Great player”
Fans surely enjoyed this activity while they wait for Woods to make a comeback. Though he hasn’t yet made any official announcement on when he is returning. This year he has missed all the major championships as well. He played the Masters but got injured midway through the tournament. However next year in January, Wood’s new league, TGL will commence. Perhaps fans will be able to see him play there.
