Prime Minister John Key and son Max were this morning playing golf with Barack Obama near the US President's Hawaii holiday home.
Mr Key, who also has a holiday home on the island, hit the golf course on a sunny and breezy morning on the island of Oahu, the Associated Press reported.
They were playing at a course on a military base near Mr Obama's rented holiday home.
Mr Obama's personal aide completed the foursome, AP reported.
Mr Obama is an avid golfer, but rarely expands his playing partners outside a small circle of close friends and advisers.
Among those who have received a rare invite to play with the president in the past are former US President Bill Clinton and Republican House Speaker John Boehner.
