One of our presidents, a former athlete, was just a bit klutzy when on display in a public activity. Played a Pro-Am Tournament in the 1970’s. Bob Hope was his partner, so the crowds were heavier than usual. Pres hit a very strong tee shot. Cameras showed him and the crowd as their eyes followed the ball, which sliced hard to the right, then showed him wincing when the ball took out a spectator. Had to feel sorry for him. That wasn’t the first time he ‘stumbled,’ but he was one of the nice guys, no one made a big deal of it.
