Presidents, Palmer & Colorado Golf This iconic moment from the 1960 U.S. Open at Cherry Hills is more than just a celebration—it’s a piece of golf and presidential history. President Dwight D. Eisenhower, a passionate golfer and frequent Cherry Hills visitor, watched as his friend Arnold Palmer charged to victory with a legendary final round. Eisenhower’s love for the game helped popularize golf in America, just as Palmer’s win inspired a new generation of players. At the Colorado Golf Association, we continue to honor this legacy by making golf more accessible, inclusive, and impactful for golfers across the state. 📢 Please note: The CGA office is closed today in observance of Presidents Day. We’ll be back tomorrow to keep growing the game! #PresidentsDay #ArnoldPalmer #1960USOpen #CherryHills #GrowTheGame #ColoradoGolf
