Obama back on golf course

Barack Obama has been seen on the golf course for the third time during his holiday in his native Hawaii.

The US president-elect appears to be playing as much golf as he can before his term begins on January 20th, with his latest game taking place at the Mid-Pacific Country Club in Kailua yesterday (December 29th), the Honolulu Advertiser reports.

Obama, who has also played at the Olomana golf resort during his stay in Hawaii, briefly spoke to spectators who lined the edge of the course to watch his drive.

According to the Associated Press, the 47-year-old later joked with onlookers "I''ll be late for my wife and then I''ll be in trouble" when asked to sign copies of his book after the golf.

Obama has been in Hawaii with his wife and two daughters since December 20th. The family is due to return to Chicago on January 1st.
