U.S. President Barack Obama began his summer vacation to Martha's Vineyard on Saturday (August 9) with a round of golf. The White House press pool was permitted to watch Obama and his golf partners as they wrapped up the first hole at Farm Neck. Obama, in a white golf shirt, baseball cap and gray pants, carefully lined up a putt, bending down to the grass and taking a long look at the green before eventually making the short putt.
