President Barack Obama spent another day of vacation golfing today, this time in Kapolei where the traveling press corp was allowed to chronicle his final putt on the 18th hole.
After the usual morning at the gym on Marine Corps Base Hawaii, the presidential motorcade headed west to the Kapolei Golf Club, arriving at about 11 a.m. for an afternoon round.
Obama wrapped up on the final hole with his golf buddies Bobby Titcomb, Greg Orme and Darrell Harrington at about 3:57 p.m — tipping his baseball cap upon successfully sinking the ball, according to press reports.
The First Family and their friends had dinner tonight at Buzz’s Lanikai in Kailua, according to the White House. The motorcade arrived at 7:27 p.m.

He is left handed….Fore left! (Pun intended!)
love our president….so glad he can have a well earned vacation
If you love your president, you can keep your president. Just keep him on the golf course.
Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Good one calentura! You stole my Thunder. just kidding.LOL.
Yes, The Longer we keep him on the Golf links,the less Damage he does! Can we keep him there for another,say ….Month?
Mark your calander allie…January 20th, 2017. The end of 8 years of “The Great Mistake” and time to making America great again! Ha-ha-ha!
Well earned from what?
O back at work again.
Will be back on vacation in the WH after New Years.
Obama is irrelevant, irrelevant, irrelevant. All the news is now about Trump, who is yet to be inaugurated. Says a lot. Barry has no positive legacy to brag about, only failed ones.
Even that putt he missed they showed on TV the other day on number 18 at Mid-Pac. He even missed that one “to the left”. He is so far on the left, that he couldn’t miss to the right even if he tried! Bwaaahahahaha!
Glad Mother Nature giving him a beautiful day to golf! Gentle breeze, warmth of the sun and friends beside him! Have a great day Mr. Obama!
Maybe the SA should assign a play-by-play reporter to report on every move this joker makes during his Taxpayer vacation…. Jan 20th…a day to celebrate…
They need someone with a calculator to follow and help him keep an honest score. How many more days will he be hacking around killing the grass?
Doesn’t he ever spend time with his family? And what do they do when he’s out playing golf with Bobby Titcomb … again? Do they get to leave the compound? I’ll bet his teenaged daughters just love doing nothing while the POTUS and his HIGH school chums relive their glory days. Malia the Gap Year child would probably like to see the, um, Big Island.
“Wearing a white shirt and dark-colored shorts (with his package arranged to the left) and a baseball hat”
