President Barack Obama may have become used to wearing golf shoes after spending the weekend hitting the links in the Sunshine State. The Commander-in-Chief, returning from a Florida trip where he played golf with wealthy donors, nearly took a tumble when exiting Air Force One on Sunday.

The president's Sunday also featured a golf game with Houston Astros owner Jim Crane, who is a major Democratic party donor with a net worth estimated at $2billion. The pair's foursome was joined by Mitch Carroll, who is on the board of directors at oil company Halliburton, and private equity investor Glenn Hutchins, part owner of the Boston Celtics. Obama flew out of the airport in Fort Pierce, where he arrived before making the short trip to Palm City.

Two years ago, Obama played 18 holes at the Floridian with Woods and Crane, who owns the club. He also practiced with Woods' former swing coach. Word of Obama's golf game with Woods in 2013 came initially from a professional sports journalist who was on the course and tweeted about it, even though the White House had prohibited the traveling press corps from observing Obama on the course. Like last time, the White House arranged for the reporters covering the president to wait at a separate location on the property where Obama won't be visible. According to local paper TCPalm, Obama was also expected to play the 18-hole course with Woods’ former coach instructor Butch Harmon.
