Pre-paralysis FDR was apparently a big golfer.
FDR was an avid golfer all his healthy life. He discovered the game one morning in 1894 at Campobello, Canada, when a dense fog spoiled his sailing plans for a day. He and friends cleared a patch of land on the family’s four-acre estate to create a small course.
At age 17, he was elected secretary and treasurer of the Campobello Golf Club, and among his first acts were the enlargement of the greens and the design of new score cards.”
Recently graduated from Harvard in 1904, he won the club’s championship. Ironically, it was at Campobello, in August 1921, that he contacted polio and lost the ability to play his beloved game ever again.
