Barack Obama -- Yells At Himself After Bad Golf Shot ... 'Not THAT Far Left'

The President of the United States just got a scolding ... from the President of the United States -- after he botched a golf shot ... and TMZ has the footage.

The video was taken on August 17 when Barack Obama was playing a round at the Vineyard Golf Club on Martha's Vineyard.

After B.O. sliced his shot, you can hear him yell something that sounds like, "C'MON BARACK ... not THAT far left."

He immediately assumed his golfing position and tried to recreate his swing in what appears to be an effort to diagnose the problem.

The footage was shot a considerable distance away from Barack and his 4-some ... probably due to the scary guys with earpieces and guns.
