U.S. Vice President JD Vance’s well-documented family holiday to the UK has had its latest embarrassing moment as his golfing struggles at Donald Trump’s Turnberry course became an online hit.
Vance is now in Scotland with his family, and video footage has shown him joining the President in making a mockery of himself with a horrific four-putt on his boss’s golf course.
It’s the latest blunder in his recent UK visit that has made headlines for all the wrong reasons.
The embarrassing moment on the tour follows a controversial moment where he and UK Foreign Secretary, David Lammy, fished without a license in the Cotswolds.
Vance followed Donald Trump’s recent itinerary and headed north for a peaceful golf retreat after the backlash from his disruptive presence in England.
But any hopes for some time away from the spotlight were diminished as he was filmed missing four frustrated putts on his colleague’s links course.
But hey, at least he didn’t cheat like Trump did on his latest Turnberry lap…
JD Vance’s shocking four-putt at Donald Trump’s golf course caught on camera
Video footage is taking off on social media, highlighting Vance playing a traditional links approach shot before bashing a series of painful putts around the green.
While Vance clearly isn’t as handy as Trump and his self-proclaimed 2.8 handicap, four putts can still be considered universally poor in the world of golf.
The Vice President left his first putt incredibly short before overhitting his second yards past the pin.
He then left his third putt short, electing to pick his ball up and move on with the eyes of the world watching.
Why has the USA Vice President’s visit caused such a stir?
Now staying at the stylish Carnell Estates in Ayrshire, Vance and his family would have been hoping for a few days away from the headlines.
However, his embarrassing blunder is only the latest of a series of gut-wrenching moments on their agonising holiday, which they may wish to forget.
Vance faced staunch condemnation for the scale of the security of his visit to the Cotswolds, including backlash for taking up disabled parking spaces.
He then finished with UK political counterpart David Lammy in open water without a license.
And after booking a table at a country pub for dinner with his family, it was cancelled because the staff refused to work if the Vice President was in attendance.
After all that, a quiet golfing break, free from media attention, would have been the perfect situation after a turbulent week.
But his poor golfing display put an end to that.
What was controversial about Donald Trump’s recent UK golf visit?
The U.S. President made headlines in Scotland last month after video footage surfaced of him allegedly cheating while opening his new links course.
Trump, who has built a reputation for being less than honest with the rules of golf, was captured having his caddie throw him a new ball to play in a not-so-subtle move.
It’s the latest moment in a string of cheating-related events where golf fans have questioned Trump’s integrity, especially considering his supposed golfing record.
So whose viral Scotland golfing escapades were worse?
