Here Warren G. Harding is caught bending low over a golf ball, a candid moment of the sport he was known to enjoy. The record dates the picture tentatively to between 1921 and 1923, the years of his presidency, and places it possibly in Washington, D.C. Golf was growing quickly in the United States during the 1920s, and Harding's fondness for the game made him one of the more visible presidential golfers of his era. Photographs of presidents at leisure like this one show a side of public life that formal portraits rarely reveal.
