Woodrow Wilson’s Golf Addiction
Wilson played golf obsessively throughout his presidency, logging over 1,000 rounds between 1913 and 1921. Winter weather couldn’t stop him—he painted his golf balls black to play in snow. His caddie reported that Wilson would swing through blizzards with these specially prepared dark balls. He frequently sneaked away to the Army-Navy Country Club to escape the pressures of World War I and his failing League of Nations dream.
