The Eisenhower Suite of the Brown Palace Hotel reverently displays a holy relic - a dent made in the mantle piece of the fireplace when Ike chipped a shot while practicing his golf swing.
To quote the tour guide who showed me the room, "If you or I made a huge dent in the mantle piece while playing golf inside a luxury hotel, we'd receive an angry letter and a stiff bill. For President Eishenhower, they made a shrine."
