The president has been criticised before for over indulging in golf and has racked up more than 60 games since he took office in 2008 - far more than his predecessor George W Bush did during his entire presidency.
His critics also said he also played too much during the crisis into the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico which created America's biggest environmental disaster.
It seems playing the game is par for the course for American presidents. Golf Digest last year has ranked Mr Obama eighth, behind Bill Clinton but ahead of Ronald Reagan, who was known for practising putting in the aisle of Air Force One.
John F Kennedy, widely considered the best golfing president, took great pains to ensure he was never photographed on the course.

Wow. Sounds like he ‘wants his life back’. I say let’s give him his anonymity back in say Nov. 2012.
There are SOOOOOO many things to say, I don’t know where to begin...

Yes, when he is actually AT the White House he has to remember which of his aliases he is using all the time. ;)
We’re at war! Get off the golf course!
‘I miss being anonymous... that’s why I spend so long on the golf course’: Obama
The real reason is he doesn’t have the slightest idea what is going on. All decisions are made in the back room while he is on the golf course.
He putz!
dat be ebonicified capshun.
For a guy with so many aliases, social security numbers, hidden records and such, I’d say he’s wanted more anonymity many, many times. Until now it was pretty easy too.
LOL. Yeah, among other places.
I thought he was just goofing off.
Can you IMAGINE if GW had whined like a little sissy like this?
Of course - it wasn’t in his nature -having quite alot more testosterone in his makeup.
But can you IMAGINE????

I'm troubled by the criticism Obama is receiving for his basketball, golf and other leisure
time activities. In our future socialist utopia we will have a national union and 20 hour
work weeks will be the norm. So can't they see Obama is leading by example. Isn't that
what we all want from our Dear Leader?

This idiot refuses to make good use of Camp David where he can talk walks in the woods alone. GWB did it all the time.
