Sporting a bright fuchsia polo shirt, white shorts, shoes and ball cap, a beaming Obama was photographed driving from the tee, lining up a putt and riding in a golf cart with an unidentified companion.
The 44th president, who frequently vacations in Hawaii around Christmas with his family, picked a scenic spot for a round, according to the clubs website.
Established in 1926, Mid-Pacific Country Club is a private club nestled in the world-renowned community of Lanikai on Oahus picturesque windward side. The first-class golf course has hosted some of the worlds finest golfers, prestigious golf tournaments and U.S. Presidents, the site reads.
With spectacular views of the Koolau Mountains, the crystal blue ocean and the iconic Mokulua Islands, Mid-Pacific Country Club is the perfect home away from home.

IMHO, President Barack Obama is the best looking and most fit President ever!
Michelle Obama is a lucky woman.
President Obama is living his best life with his family and friends at home in Hawaii.
I miss him so much.

Does President Obama have a good swing/form? I dont play golf, but he looks like hes a pretty good golfer to me.
Scarsdale
(9,426 posts)stress free vacations. He really "paid his dues" as president. I'll bet he plays very well, after all his conscience is clear, unlike SOME others we know, right?He is welcomed everywhere he goes, worldwide. Just the type of president this country needs.

He will go down in history as one of our greatest presidents, who is admired at home and around the world.
MF45*, on the other hand, will be judged to be the very worst and a traitor.
Kingofalldems
(38,425 posts)And the best part is--he does NOT cheat like Trump.
PJMcK
(21,998 posts)Notice how his head is behind his shoulder and the ball? I bet he hits his drive over 225 yards, (real measurements, not Trumpy).
What a contrast we Democrats have in our presidents vs. the Republicans. Consider:
Carter then Reagan
Clinton then George W. Bush
Obama then Trump
Quite a lineup!

Rest assured Florida will be looking forward to the arrival of the Trumps for Christmas.
How about we all dump, bit by bit, a ton of coal by Mar-a-Lago? That is what he deserves.

This is great.
His golfing stance might suck but he looks amazing. I mean amazing.
Kingofalldems
(38,425 posts)TidalWave46
(2,061 posts)I know because I have the same issue. He has a very open stance while using a club that has zero reason for an open stance. There are other clear issues that can be seen by the position of his left elbow. He holds it in better than most amateurs but it way to much of a "wrap around."
I am shocked at how good he looks. This is very very nice to see.
Kingofalldems
(38,425 posts)maybe a little bit closed. He also may be just beginning his downswing.
TidalWave46
(2,061 posts)Never would that be defined as a "closed stance."
His left elbow used to hang way out on a full swing. He has that somewhat under control. Seems to be trying to improve.
The guy doesn't have the perfect swing. It's not an impeachable offense.
Kingofalldems
(38,425 posts)Where your toe is pointed is not a factor. Lots of tour pros have their front toe open. His body is not open to the target.
TidalWave46
(2,061 posts)And the toe is completely significant when it comes to open or closed.
Turn your front toe forward and then try to close it down. Doesn't work. Not the way it works.
Don't worry. I won't tell anyone he isn't perfect.
To be clear, Obama has addressed the ball many times with an open or closed stance. Kind of a part of him not being a golfer. Happens to many of us.

(37,748 posts)He's square and on-point.
I get it... we see what we want to see and I won't tell anyone you're not perfect. Happens to may of us (I call that 'six of one, half a dozen of the other...' and both as petulant and without merit as the other).
TidalWave46
(2,061 posts)Most of my inferences are just that, inferences. I'm not all that creative. Really wish I were. My brother, amazingly creative.
" Happens to may of us (I call that 'six of one, half a dozen of the other...' and both as petulant and without merit as the other)."
That is not a logical statement. That is a place you rarely go with your statements. You are normally a very logical person. You seem to pride yourself on it and from what I have read I would call you a very logical person. I understand as it's hard to hold that line when attempting to get into a debate of something so meaningless and attempting to make it mean more.

Oh my. Yes, I'd say that was one spectacular view.
All apologies to Michelle, but MY President still makes my heart beat a lot faster.
Obama playing golf while drumpf is being impeached, pure karma.

Simple match play. No cheating, though....and you have to walk the course. This would be a hoot.
