...home of golf pro Greg Norman will earn the President his own place in the history of First Duffers. When it comes to presidential golf, it has often been the spectators (fore!) who were wounded, not the Chief Hackers. (See Clinton's 1995 outing with George Bush and Gerald Ford, when three people were hit by errant shots from the two ex-Presidents.) But Clinton is hardly the first President to come to grief over golf...

Others were supporters such as Rush Limbaugh, a man so crucial that when he arrived in June 1992, Bush even carried his bags. But like Henry Ford, Clinton took an existing idea and perfected its mass production. In the Clinton White House, 938 guests trooped through. They included the famous, like Barbra Streisand, Steven Spielberg and Billy Graham, and the relatively obscure, including numerous personal friends of the Clintons and Chelsea. But at least a third of them...
