In his first public appearance since he was granted sole custody of his two sons with Britney Spears earlier this month, Kevin Federline hit the links Tuesday at the Trump National Golf Club near Los Angeles. He told People magazine, "Been having a good summer, I can't complain." (Former backup dancer and marginal rapper who's now a well-remunerated single dad – why would he?)

He said he's been balancing career and parenting. "I've worked here and there a little bit," he said. "Definitely staying at home with the family." He also reports that sons Jayden, 1 ½, and Preston, 2 ½, are doing well.

K-Fed, who played the course with a friend, wore baggy shorts and sneakers, smoked cigarettes off the golf course, drank iced coffee and drove his own golf cart. He took practice shots on the driving range before Ryan Sheckler's X Games Celebrity Skins Classic, but both of his shots on the hole-in-one competition missed.
