President Obama plays golf at Porcupine Creek
President Barack Obama is teeing off on a private California golf course owned by supporter Larry Ellison, the billionaire co-founder of the Oracle software company.
Ellison ranks third on Forbes’ annual list of the 400 richest Americans, with an estimated $41 billion fortune.
His 249-acre desert property in Rancho Mirage features a 19-hole private golf course. The extra hole is available for playoffs.
The White House says Obama’s foursome includes childhood friends Bobby Titcomb, Greg Orme and Michael Ramos.
Obama was spending the weekend at the Sunnylands Estate in Rancho Mirage after meeting Friday at the compound with King Abdullah II of Jordan. The President’s wife and daughters are skiing in Aspen, Colorado this weekend.
The president is scheduled to return to the White House on Monday. On Tuesday, he’s scheduled to discuss the economy in the Washington area.
