PALM CITY, fla.?? Faced with a long weekend in an empty White House, President Barack Obama figured he needed a getaway, so he put together a golf outing with some buddies.
Obama will spend the long Presidents Day weekend at the Floridian, an exclusive and secluded yacht and golf club on the state's Treasure Coast. He arrived Friday night after a speech in Chicago and wasn't expected to be seen again in public ? including by the members of the news media traveling with him ? until he returns to Washington on Monday.
First lady Michelle Obama and daughters Malia and Sasha are on an annual ski vacation in Aspen. So call it a weekend with the boys, presidential style.
Obama planned to practice his putting technique on the club's private, 18-hole course, which opened in 1996, according to golfnow.com, and is owned by Jim Crane, a Houston businessman who also owns Major League Baseball's Astros. Obama's longtime friend from Chicago, Eric Whitaker, joined him on the flight from Chicago to Florida. Another regular member of Obama's golf foursomes is White House trip director Marvin Nicholson, who also traveled with the president Friday. The Associated Press
