Watch: Barack Obama throws up arms in exasperation after woeful putting on Northland green

March 22, 2018

The ex US President's short game on the exclusive Tara Iti course in Mangawhai Heads appeared to be a bit lacking today.

Former US President Barack Obama is renowned as a man of many talents, but his short game on the golf green doesn't appear to be one of them.

For the second straight day, footage of him missing a close putt has been captured on a Northland golf course.

And Mr Obama was particularly exacerbated with his near miss today at the exclusive Tara Iti course in Mangawhai Heads.

Decked out in white, Obama could be seen wriggling his hands in frustration over a near miss putt.

Obama can also be seen getting his ball out of a bunker or two on the seaside course and striking some solid drives down the fairway, all ensconced by a heavy police presence.

The US President had better hope his irons are in good nick today if he's to get revenge on his loss to Team NZ which included John Key and son Max yesterday.

The former US president is dressed and white and Sir John Key is in the mauve top to his right.

The Obama golfing entourage played 18 holes at Kauri Cliffs course in Matauri Bay yesterday morning.
