We love golfing on a Sunday afternoon, so why can't famous politicians do the same thing?

It is a great escape from the job at hand, the game demands such attention that nothing else matters and it is time spent with friends.

So with what friends do some of the most famous politicians like to partner up?

Among President Gerald R. Ford's favorite pastimes was playing golf. He played in the Bob Hope Classic for 23 years, the highlight coming in 1995 when he and Presidents Bill Clinton and George H.W. Bush played with tournament host Bob Hope and professional Scott Hoch. It marked the first time a sitting president played in the Classic and the first time three presidents had played together.

President Barack Obama has gone to the golf course over 10 times since he took the oath of office a little more than seven months ago, including a round on Father’s Day with Vice President Joe Biden.
