It was quite remarkable, the amount of golf he was able to play, given the schedule of a president ... He was quite taken with the game. There was a very special relationship and a passion he had for it, and he loved relating that to people. That's why he was so influential in the growth of golf. And that more or less coincided with the popularity of Arnold Palmer. The two of them really brought golf from being a game of the wealthy to a game anyone could play.
