Bob Hope played golf with many U.S. presidents over the years. At the Bob Hope Classic, Hope's pairing usually including a former president, often Gerald Ford. And President Ford was infamous for beaning spectators with wayward shots.

Here are some of Hope's best barbs directed at his good friend President Ford, along with a couple others for onetime Vice President Spiro Agnew and President Dwight Eisenhower:

• "Whenever I play with him (President Ford), I usually try to make it a foursome - the President, myself, a paramedic and a faith healer."
   
  
• "Gerry Ford is easy to spot on the course. He drives the cart with the red cross painted on top."
   
  
• "Gerald Ford (is) the most dangerous driver since Ben-Hur."
   
  
• "It's not hard to find Gerald Ford on a golf course - just follow the wounded."
   
  
• "I enjoy playing with (President Ford). The element of risk gets my adrenaline flowing and adds twenty yards to my tee shots."
   
  
• "You don’t know what fear is until you hear Ford behind you shouting 'Fore!' - and you're still in the locker room."
   
  
• "Shortly after I started playing golf with Jerry Ford I thought it was time to take some lessons. Not golf lessons. First aid."
   
  
• "Whenever I play with Ford these days I carry thriteen clubs and a white flag."
   
  
• "When (Spiro) Agnew yellowed “Fore!” you never knew whether he was telling someone to get out of the way or if he was predicting how many spectators he would hit with the shot."
   
  

• "President Eisenhower has given up golf for painting. It takes fewer strokes."
   
  
• "If (President Eisenhower) slices the budget like he slices a golf ball, the nation has nothing to worry about."
