President Barack Obama’s 17-day vacation at a $22.5 million Martha’s Vineyard home includes pretty much everything we’ve come to expect him and his family to demand except for one thing – no Jay-Z.

The president, on the other hand, was seen doing well with his studied shots on the green.

Mrs Clinton, who remains the front-runner for the Democratic nomination despite the current controversy over her email server, is also due to attend the festivities at the Massachusetts resort after campaigning in Iowa.

The crew returned to Farm Neck Golf Club this afternoon, Obama’s second visit to the course since he began his vacation.

She and husband Bill Clinton, a former president, are scheduled to vacation in the Hamptons, a New York vacation spot also popular with the wealthy and famous, in the last two weeks of August. Aside from this group, the Obama family’s arrival was closed to the public. Obama is on a two-week vacation on the Vineyard. After her defeat in the primaries he gave his support to Obama.

An attorney and business executive, Jordan advised President Clinton and played a prominent role in the civil rights movement.

Mr. Jordan and his wife, Ann, are longtime Vineyard summer visitors as well.

When Jordan made his putt, Obama fished the ball out of the hole and threw it back to him before making a putt of his own.

She called Obama a day before they met at a private party on the Vineyard and told reporters she would “absolutely” hug it out with the president.
