President Obama wasted little time on his final holiday vacation in Hawaii before hitting the golf course Saturday morning.
Obama and the first family arrived in Oahu late Friday night. By 10 a.m. local time, Obama had left his family’s rental in Kailua for the Marine Corps Base Hawaii, which houses the Kaneohe Klipper Golf Course.
Three of Obama’s four golf buddies work in the White House’s advance office, which is responsible for checking out sites the president’s team is planning to visit.
The three staffers — Luke Rosa, Michael Brush and Joe Paulsen — were also joined by Bobby Titcomb, a friend of Obama’s who was arrested in a prostitution sting operation in downtown Honolulu back in 2011. Titcomb pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor challenge and later had the crime removed from his record.
