US President Barack Obama kicked off his birthday weekend with a round of golf with friends on Saturday at Camp David.

Obama, who turns 52 on Sunday, left the White House early for the half-hour motorcade ride to Andrews Air Force Base in Maryland to squeeze in some golf before the celebration shifted to the presidential retreat, Fox News reported.

The White House said that Obama's three golfing foursomes included some of his friends from Hawaii.

Among them were childhood friends Bobby Titcomb and Mike Ramos, and Chicago pals Marty Nesbitt and Eric Whitaker.

Obama recently completed 131 rounds of golf since becoming President.
