Obama hits golf course in California

While Washington was facing a deep freeze Friday, President Obama was eager to hit the links on the West Coast. 

 

Fresh off a Thursday fundraising swing through San Jose and Los Angeles, Obama flew to Palm Springs, Calif., for a weekend golf getaway. 

 

Obama’s motorcade arrived at Porcupine Creek golf course, owned by Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison, in nearby Rancho Mirage just over 20 minutes after Air Force One landed on Friday.

 

The president is hoping to play several rounds this weekend before a summit that starts Monday with Asian leaders at the Sunnylands estate. 

 

Obama last teed up at Porcupine Creek, situated on a private, 249-acre estate, last June with longtime friends Bobby Titcomb, Greg Orme and Mike Ramos.
