It's the first full day of President Obama's vacation on Martha's Vineyard, and he's already made it to the golf course. Mr. Obama took his first swings this afternoon at Farm Neck Golf Club on the island.

The president reportedly played today with S.C. Democratic Rep. James E. Clyburn, UBS Investment Bank president Robert Wolf and White House aide Marvin Nicholson. He has been rumored to have Tiger Woods as a playing partner later this week, but the White House has denied that is in the works.

Below you can see some video of his swing off the first tee from Plumtv.com, which was able to film from the pro shop. The video also includes a little bit of a tour of the course from the club pro and a peak inside a gift bag the club is going to present to the first family.

MARTHA'S VINEYARD, Mass. -- On Sunday, Martha's Vineyard added yet another famous name to its roster of celebrities and politicians who come to the island for vacation. Actually, there are five names to add: President Barack Obama, First Lady Michelle Obama, first daughters Sasha and Malia, and the world's most famous Portuguese water dog, Bo.

The first family arrived here for a week or rest and relaxation. The island, off the coast of Massachusetts was already the vacation home of former President Bill Clinton, is home to actor Ted Danson, songwriter Carly Simon and was home to CBS’s late great Walter Cronkite.

As a candidate, Mr. Obama was here for a fundraiser in 2007, but this is his first visit as president to Massachusetts. The president has no public schedule and had an aide deliver a message to the White House press corps here: relax and have a good time. The first family is saying “up-island” which is actually south on the island, at a private home. The house comes complete with private beach and water access so he may not been seen too much while here. He is expected to play golf though and the island's many ice cream shops are hoping he stops by with the kids.

Other than that, the vineyard will be a welcome respite for him. There are many signs welcoming him here and both his likeness and his campaign symbol can be found in many store windows. As the video shows, there's also a wide selection of Obama-related t-shirts and paraphernalia to buy. The island appears to be quite excited for his visit.

Martha's Vinyard is the top choice for the Obama family's summer vacation spot, the New York Times reports.

As the first family did not have a vacation home before moving into the White House, aides have been trying to quietly search for a place where the Obamas can spend their time away from Washington.

"Unlike FDR, who had Hyde Park, or Lyndon Johnson or George W. Bush who had their own ranches, they need to find a place where they can relax, which the others did by going to their own homes," author and historian Doris Kearns Goodwin told Politico.
