The president hit the links at Fort Belvoir, and the White House said he was joined by his regular partner Marvin Nicholson, U.S. Trade Representative Ron Kirk, and his senior adviser David Plouffe.
On Friday, Obama campaigned in Virginia Beach, Hampton and Roanoke, and on Saturday, his campaign events were in Glen Allen and Clifton, Virginia.
Virginia is one of seven toss-up battleground states on the CNN Electoral Map.
Obama hit his 100th round of golf as president on Father's Day this year.

@dale? Yourt point is?
Everyone needs some down time and I am sure if anything were to happen the President would be on it like white on rice.
You want to find somebody who golfs more than he, I was going to say drink or smoke, but I can't. It's the bo ner!

"The President plays golf on the weekend." – why is this news?
Who is surprised? Golf, lie, vacation, take jabs at job creators (business owners), golf, lie some more...yeah, he's doing a fantastic job.
