JD Vance's eventful UK holiday took an embarrassing turn after his dismal four-putt went viral.
After angering locals during his stay in the Cotswolds, Vance ventured north of the border to Trump Turnberry, where he produced a display that may leave his golf-loving boss questioning his position in his next four-man group.
Vance was seen toiling during his round, first attempting to recover a shot in the bunker, before later seriously struggling to get the ball in the hole on the green.
The Ohio native took four efforts to putt the ball in the cup. Typically, golfers aim to achieve a two-putt, with three efforts seen as a very bad result - making Vance's four a miserable performance.
He was unable to hide his frustration with his wayward putting and was seen throwing his arms in the air after missing the target.
It is not clear what handicap Vance plays off, but it is unlikely to be anywhere near the supposed 2.8 handicap the US President plays off.
A golf fan did not mince his words when reacting to the viral footage on Friday.
Another sarcastically added: 'He plays golf the way he plays politics: incompetent.'
The VP is believed to be staying on a luxury estate in Ayrshire, the area he says his ancestors left in the 17th century to help found the USA.
Carnell Estates has a 14th-century tower and luxurious mansion house hidden within its gardens and more than 2,000 acres of parkland.
It is popular with VIPs, with Brad Pitt and his then-wife Angelina Jolie having stayed at the estate when Pitt filmed World War Z in 2011.
Accompanied by his wife and children, the VP landed at Prestwick Airport on Air Force Two on Thursday before heading to the luxury Carnell Estates in Ayrshire by motorcade.
His arrival in Scotland saw Vance heckled by protestors.
Activists gathered at the gates of the estate, near Kilmarnock, waving Palestinian flags and placards.
