Best Answer

William McKinley was supposedly the first president to play a round of Golf. Taft played golf but not often when he was president but he likely was the first sitting president to play golf. Wilson certainly played golf while he was president, but not very well.

Which president did not like squirrels and had them moved to a park?

I am not sure which president fits this description, but I do know that President Eisenhower's staff removed three squirrels that were digging up Ike's favorite putting green on the White House grounds. It wasn't that the president hating squirrels-- he hated what they were doing to his golf game. On the other hand, President Reagan became rather fond of the White House squirrels, and on one of his presidential Christmas cards, he had a picture of a squirrel running across the lawn.

Which US President was the first to install a putting green on the White House lawn?

The White House Putting Green lies a short walk outside the Oval Office door to the southeast. A putting green was first installed by President Dwight Eisenhower in 1954 with help from the United States Golf Association and private donations. Eisenhower was a very avid golfer and was sometimes criticized for it, but he and his doctor readily defended the habit as good for his health, which had suffered during his presidency.

Not at his home in Chicago, but if you are asking about the White House in Washington DC, it has all sorts of amenities for the president and his family. Presidents can golf, play tennis, swim, take a nature walk with their family, watch a movie, etc. There has been a swimming pool on the grounds since 1975, at the request of then-President Gerald Ford.
