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!
