    It was the first time three U.S. presidents have attended the matches at the same time since this event began in 1994, named after the highest office in the land.

    The U-shaped grandstands around the first tee at Liberty National were at capacity more than an hour before the first tee time Thursday. Most of the players were warming up on the range. Phil Mickelson, in the fifth and final match, came over early to shake hands.

    Then, Mickelson took out his phone for a selfie he might not get again.

    Look at the weight that Bush #43 , has gained in recent years. Obama, love him or dislike him; the fact of the matter is that he is probably the most physically fit President on record. He always appears to be in top physical condition.

    Physical fitness does not correlate with ability to function as POTUS. In fact, in the examples you gave, it is quite the opposite.
