The former president looked relaxed and calm yesterday as he toured the Eva Beach Golf Club on the island of Oahu.
The photos of Obama, 61, come shortly after his wife Michelle, 58, said there was a 10-year period when she “couldn’t stand” her husband.
He brought a group of friends and smiled on the third hole before taking a selfie with an excited-looking employee.

The images come shortly after former first lady Michelle, 58, said there was a ten-year period where she “couldn’t stand” her husband.
Barack donned a cap and glasses which he paired with a red polo shirt and shorts as he cut a casual figure on the court.
The 58-year-old former first lady also branded her two daughters, Sasha and Malia, “terrorists” when they were little.

Barack appeared to have lost his ball at one point during the round, looking at the green through a binocular.
Speaking to Revolt in early December, she said: “People think I’m being malicious for saying this: It’s like there were 10 years where I couldn’t stand my husband.”
‘And guess when it happened? When those kids were little.
“For 10 years, as we were trying to build our careers and worrying about school and who was doing what and what, I was like, ‘Argh, this isn’t even it.'”
‘And guess what? Marriage is not 50/50, ever. Ever. There are times when I’m 70, he’s 30. There are times when he’s 60, 40. But guess what? Ten years.
‘We have been married 30. It would take 10 bad years over 30, that’s how you see it. People give up: ‘Five years; I can not stand it’.

Malia, 24, and Sasha, 21, were 7 and 10 when their family moved into the White House after several years of campaigning.
Michelle also described her two daughters as ‘terrorists’ when they were little, saying they ‘have lawsuits’.
She added: ‘Little children, they are terrorists. They have demands. They do not speak. They are bad communicators. They cry all the time.
They are irrational. They are needy. And you love them. And so you can’t blame them, right? …So they take that anger out on each other.
