‘Golf Is Therapy Y’all’: Days After the Tragic News, Barack Obama Is Spotted With a Club in His Hand, Leaving the Internet in Splits

Hardly anyone in this world wouldn’t know the ex-POTUS, Barack Obama. Given his fame and reputation, the 61-year-old now and then makes the headlines of various outlets. However, recently, the news that has been revolving around it deals with a tragic incident. Both Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle Obama, have expressed anguish over the tragedy.

Following this occurrence, the 44th US President was spotted on a golf course almost a week later. These visuals piqued the interest of the golf world, which couldn’t help but comment regarding the same. On one hand, some of the fans chimed in to support Obama. On the other hand, fans did not hesitate to make sarcastic remarks about the same, thus indicating a clear divide.

Following an unfortunate accident, Barack Obama hits the golf course

Just a week ago, an unfortunate tragedy struck the Obama household. Their long-time beloved sous chef, Tafari Campbell, had passed away. Per the reports, Campbell lamentably dropped down from a paddleboard on Sunday at Edgartown’s Great Pond, near the Obamas’ summer property.

The loyal chef had worked for the former President for 14 years, was married to Sherise, and had two sons. Thus, while paying their condolences, the Obamas mentioned that he was a beloved part of their family. “Today we join everyone who knew and loved Tafari—especially his wife Sherise and their twin boys, Xavier and Savin—in grieving the loss of a truly wonderful man,” the couple said, according to the Guardian.
