When Jim needs to unwind or tackle the biggest political issues of the day, he hits the golf course.
Jim recently sat down with Chris Cillizza on Politics Aside on Monumental Sports Network to talk about how golf has been a constant thread throughout his life -- from the segregation of his youth to forging relationships that helped shape national policy.

Jim shares how one Christmas, his father gave him a little wooden golf club and a rubber golf ball. That was his first introduction to the game. But because the local golf courses were for whites-only, he had to learn how to swing a club on a baseball field as a teenager.
It wasn’t until after President Lyndon Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act in the mid-1960s that Jim played his first round on a regulation course in Charleston. Since then, golf has become much more than a pastime -- it’s been a way to build trust, broker deals, and connect with people from all walks of life.
Jim credits conversations on the course with helping secure key appropriations and pass meaningful legislation. Over the years, he’s played with Presidents Clinton, Obama, and Biden -- back when Joe was Vice President.

Thanks,
Team Clyburn
