Obama Hits Golf Course Again, Disrupts No Weddings
Published at
Pete Souza / The White House(HONOLULU) — President Obama completed his seventh round of vacation golf on Monday and didn’t spoil any weddings — at least so far as we know.
One day after his tee time at a military golf course in Hawaii unexpectedly forced a couple of soldiers to relocate their marriage ceremony, the president appeared publicly focused on his short game.
As dusk was falling at Mid-Pacific Country Club, Obama was seen walking up the 18th hole before a crowd of onlookers and press. He chipped for birdie, drawing a “Get in the hole!” from someone in the crowd. The ball landed about a foot from the cup, according to the TV pool reporter on scene.
“They actually gave that to me!” Obama exclaimed, apparently having been offered a gimme by his partners. He tapped the ball in casually anyway before fishing it out of the cup.
“That’s how you want to end, with a par,” he said.
The 18th is a Par 4, 412-yard hole, according to the website for the course. No word on Obama’s total score for the day, though he was said to have shot an 84 on Sunday.
Earlier on Monday, the president hit the gym and spent more than an hour at the beach with his family.
Obama and family departed on Dec. 19 for a 16-day holiday in his native state, Hawaii. It’s their sixth Oahu vacation since the president took office.
