President Obama is playing golf Sunday at Farm’s Neck Golf Club on Martha’s Vineyard where he and his family are staying.

The Obamas have vacationed on Martha’s Vineyard every year of his presidency except 2012 when he ran for reelection.

Obama reached this presidential milestone at the Farm Neck golf course with National Basketball Association star Chris Paul, his friend Cy Walker, and White House staffer Joe Paulsen.

In an interview with the Golf Channel, Obama revealed his golf handicap: “Honest 13”, he told the network. The lower the handicap, the better the player.

Obama said his drives off the tee are usually straight, but of unimpressive length. He’s also a decent chipper, but says his sand game is awful, and the difference between a score in the low 80s and high 80s generally depends on how many bunkers he hits. He struck about a 30-footer that strayed only an inch or two past the hole.
