Barack Obama pictured for the first time since he left office

Former President Barack Obama headed straight to the golf course to celebrate his first day as a civilian.

On his first day out of office, former US President Barack Obama was seen playing golf at Mirage, CA, in California after starting his day as a private citizen with a trip to the gym.

Looking relaxed as he made his way around the golf club wearing light blue Under Armor golf jersey, Nike socks and shoes, grey trousers and a grey baseball cap.

Obama played at the private course which belongs to tech Billionaire Larry Ellison by himself and even drove the cart around without a chauffer.
