Barack Obama draws big crowd as he plays St Andrews Old Course image

Former President Barack Obama played a round of golf Friday at the Old Course at St. Andrews in front of a crowd of people that would make even Tiger Woods jealous.

Before giving a speech at a charity function in Edinburgh, Obama stopped by one of the most famous courses in the world.

St. Andrews is not only one of the host courses for the Open Championship, it also serves as hallowed grounds in golf's cherished history.

Now that he is no longer busy running the country, Obama gets to enjoy his time a bit more.
