Today, Americans go to the polls to elect the next president of the United States. Last week, I played golf on a golf course that was built exclusively for a U.S. president-Franklin D. Roosevelt.

Roosevelt Memorial Golf Course is a cozy nine-hole layout in Warm Springs, a bucolic town in Meriwether County that Roosevelt discovered in 1924. Seeking refuge for the polio that debilitated him, Roosevelt swam in the warm, mineral-rich spring waters here that bubble up from the edge of Pine Mountain. Over the next two decades, Roosevelt was a regular visitor to Warm Springs, where he invested heavily in the area and developed a hospital and outdoor sanctuary for polio patients.
