Description
President Eisenhower Used Golf Ball President Eisenhower was fond of hitting golf balls on the White House lawn to relax while in office. Melvin O. Carter of the White House maintenance crew happened across one of Ike's golf balls following such a session. Marked "1 Spalding, Mr. President," it is accompanied by a "Dwight Eisenhower" embossed golf tee. A long historical signed letter on White House stationery from Carter's widow recounts the ball's ownership by Ike. He never ever used golf balls as gifts. They were personal only to him.Auction Info
