JD Vance\u2019s visit to the U.K. had another subpar moment when the vice president swung his way through a brutal round of golf on Trump\u2019s Turnberry course<\/a> in Scotland.<\/p>\n

Video of the 41-year-old Republican needing four putts<\/a> to conquer one green, according to local reports<\/a>, went viral on social media Friday. Golf Monthly says that\u2019s nearly double the number of putts<\/a> an average golfer spends on a green.<\/p>\n

Vance and his family arrived in Scotland<\/a> on Wednesday, according to the BBC. He reportedly hit the links on Thursday surrounded by secret service personnel.<\/p>\n

Vance is fresh off a stay in the English countryside, where the staff of popular pub The Bull in Charlbury<\/a> allegedly threatened a mutiny<\/a> if they were forced to serve the staunch conservative. The restaurant didn\u2019t accept his reservation<\/a>, according to The Daily Beast.<\/p>\n

Some residents of the Oxfordshire hamlet were upset by Vance choosing their region to spend some downtime. Local media outlet the Oxford Clarion posted photos of signs in locals\u2019 lawns protesting the vice president<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Residents also complained<\/a> to the BBC throughout the week that, politics aside, Vance\u2019s motorcade was crowding country streets and complicating daily travel.<\/p>\n

The historic Turnberry golf course came under the umbrella of the Trump Organization in 2014. Even before first becoming president in 2016, Trump was met by protesters<\/a> objecting to his \u201ctoxic, racist views\u201d when he visited his Scotland links, according to The Guardian.<\/p>\n

He returned to Turnberry<\/a> in July \u2014 this time having twice been elected to serve in the White House \u2014 and was once again greeted by critics upset over the war in Gaza, his treatment of immigrants in the U.S., and his ties to sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.<\/p>\n

In March, Turnberry was targeted by vandals<\/a> who were angered by the Trump administration\u2019s handling of Israel\u2019s invasion of Gaza. Protesters painted \u201cGaza is not for sale\u201d on the property\u2019s white gates.<\/p>\n

His course in Ireland has also been vandalized<\/a> over politics.<\/p>\n
