CHILMARK, Mass. -- When President Barack Obama goes on vacation, he plays a lot of golf. And when he plays, he likes to hang out with big-name basketball players.Five days into his family vacation on Marthas Vineyard, the president has spent four of them hitting the links. While the president rarely plays basketball anymore, he could put together a pretty strong pickup team with his golfing partners if he were so inclined.In his first outing, Obama joined up with Chris Paul of the Los Angeles Clippers. In the second round, it was Stephen Curry of the Golden State Warriors, and in his third and fourth rounds, Obamas foursome included former all-stars Alonzo Mourning and Ray Allen. The latter two were playing partners during last years vacation as well.The round with Curry makes good on Obamas promise of a rematch when the Warriors visited the White House in February to be honored for winning the 2015 NBA championship.I heard during this summer, after our golf game, that Steph was using the excuse of Secret Service being intimidating for why he lost the match, Obama said at the time. That is not the case. But he will have another opportunity.When Obama golfs, a handful of reporters, a camera team and photographers -- known as the pool -- are nearby, usually kept far enough away so the president doesnt see them, and vice versa. But the press was allowed to watch Obama on the first hole on the first day.A skunk livened things up when it waddled by the press van on the second day of golf. No damage was done before it wandered over to an area where the Secret Service was checking cars for bombs before their drivers were allowed to enter the courses parking lot.Many weekends in Washington, Obama also goes golfing, but generally on just one of the days.On Marthas Vineyard, Obama also has gone out twice for dinner. In the town of Oak Bluffs, he dined Sunday evening at Down Island, a new, trendy restaurant that has a $59 prix fixe menu.Executive Chef Scott Cummings told the Cape Cod Times the president shook hands with staff and posed for photos. The menu included island-caught striped bass, roasted carrots, octopus and chocolate pate. Obama tried all the dishes that were brought to him, Cummings said.Hundreds lined the street hoping for a glimpse of the president and first lady, cheering enthusiastically as their motorcade sped away to drop them off on the other side of the island. Its friendly country for Democrats, though a couple of Trump supporters watched the motorcade Thursday behind a Trump sign.The Clintons also frequented the vineyard during Bill Clintons two terms, and the motorcade passed a permanent sign reading Hoo-rah for Bill. The sign was erected by the late Craig Kingsbury, an eccentric local who was the inspiration for Quint in the movie Jaws. Much of the movie was filmed on the island.For their second dinner out, the Obamas headed back Tuesday to State Road restaurant in West Tisbury, which has become a yearly stop for them. Lobster salad, local greens, striped bass, monkfish, duck breast and cheeseburgers were on the menu.The Obamas have vacationed every year but one on Marthas Vineyard. They generally keep a low profile, and indeed there were few people on the street in West Tisbury when they left the restaurant around 10:30 p.m.On the day Obama didnt golf, he and the first family went to a private beach. The White House said Thursday he and daughter Malia also went for a walk in the morning on a trail near the house the Obamas are renting. The White House doesnt disclose exactly where he is staying, but hes in the same neighborhood of a home the Obamas stayed at in 2014 and 2015. One of the local papers, the Marthas Vineyard Times, describes the home as containing seven bedrooms, nine bathrooms, expansive views of Vineyard Sound, a swimming pool, a hot tub and a dual tennis-basketball court.Obama has added a new event to this years itinerary, a fundraiser Monday for the Democratic National Committee. Meanwhile, Hillary Clinton will be on the island as well on August 20. Her campaign website stated that shell be in Edgartown at the home of Carol and Frank Biondi, a former CEO for Viacom and Universal Studios.

Adelaide United are braced for a furious reaction from an embarrassed Western Sydney in Friday nights A-League grand final rematch, defender Tarek Elrich says.The Wanderers are smarting from a 4-0 derby loss to Sydney FC in their season opener on Saturday but have little time to dwell on the result as they prepare to take on the Reds at Coopers Stadium.Elrich, a foundation Western Sydney player, can imagine what the weeks been like for Tony Popovics charges.Knowing Popa, having played under him, theyre going to come out firing, Elrich told reporters in Adelaide.Theyre probably glad its a short turnaround.Its never good losing in a massive derby, especially by that scoreline, but Im sure Popovic will have them very revved up and ready for this game.Once you come off a big loss like that, the next week you give it your all.Elrich expects the Wanderers will look to shore up things at the back in response to their heavy defeat to the Sky Blues, in which they conceded all four goals in the second half.In turn, thatll ask more of Adelaides new-look attack.dddddddddddd Elrich says it is still coming together after some recent additions - including striker Sergi Guardiola, who showed some nice touches in their 1-1 draw with Newcastle last week, and midfielder James Holland, who made his A-League return after seven seasons abroad.Their No.1 focus will be their defence, making sure theyre solid and working together and not conceding four goals again, Elrich said.For us, we havent had the greatest results in front of goal. Were very well structured defensively but were just finding our feet in the final third.Adelaide coach Guillermo Amor doesnt expect the Wanderers will be driven solely by revenge for last seasons 3-1 grand final loss.Always its there, but theyve changed a lot of players. (Revenge) is more for the people and the coaches but, normally, when youre a professional, you dont think about the past, Amor said. ' ' '
