President-elect Barack Obama finished his round of golf at Olomana Golf Links at about 5:30 p.m. this afternoon, but not before his group stopped for snack of hot dogs, spam musubi and passion orange drinks half-way through his round.


There was no word on his score or the other people in his foursome during the five-hour round.


But Obama admitted to reporters, “I’m not that good.”


Obama wore a white polo shirt, light-brown cargo shorts, short white socks and golf shoes and spent a few minutes at the driving range before teeing off at 12:30 p.m.
Eugene Kang, a political aide who is along on the trip, also accompanied Obama. It was unclear who else was in his group.


Before hitting the links, Obama got in a workout this morning.


The motorcade left the vacation home on Kailuana Place at 7:15 a.m. for the Marine Corps Base Hawaii in Kaneohe.


Obama and his wife, Michelle, walked into the Semper Fit Center, a large gymnasium on base wearing gym clothes.


As they left the gym at 8:10 a.m., Obama gave a quick salute to a couple of uniformed Marines standing nearby.
