The president is also expected to spend time with the rich and famous on the Vineyard, having already played golf with National Basketball Association stars Los Angeles Clippers’ Chris Paul on Sunday and Golden State Warriors’ Stephen Curry on Monday. Curry joked the last time he and Obama played, 25 separate secret service agents were on every hole.

Curry’s father, Dell Curry, a former National Basketball Association player himself, also joined the foursome.
Obama says he has a golf handicap of 13, calling his irons “good”, his drive “straight but unimpressive in length”, his putting “decent”, his chipping, “ok”, but adding his sand game as “terrible”.
President Barack Obama and his family are spending the day at the beach with family and friends on the fourth day of his Martha’s Vineyard vacation. On Saturday, the president came in via helicopter.
On Sunday night the First Family had dinner in downtown Oak bluffs after the president’s round of golf, and repeated both again on Monday.
The Obamas will spend 16 days on the island, their seventh trip there since Obama took office.
