Vance is currently on holiday exploring the Cotswolds with his family. Amid that, he was spotted swinging on the course at South Ayrshire, but his shots somehow ended up in disappointing locations across the Donald Trump-owned golf venue.

A clip from Daily Mail, posted on X (previously Twitter) by FactPost, showed the U.S. Vice President failing to make the putt. Watch the video on X here, where Vance can be seen playing on King Robert The Bruce Course of Turnberry.

Donald Trump's golf course in Scotland, the Trump Turnberry, is a grand attraction for golf fans, especially due to its rich history. Turnberry holds the privilege of hosting four British Open Championships, including the Duel In The Sun. However, the last time the prestigious Major championship was held here was in 2009.

Vance's arrival in Scotland for a holiday came weeks after Donald Trump's five day visit to Scotland. The President of the United States visited Trump Turnberry and was also spotted at his new golf venue in Aberdeenshire.

Although he is mostly known for being a businessman and a prominent figure in American politics, Vance had a passion for golf from an early age. He has also talked about the friends he made and how he got into golf in the beginning.


When Donald Trump's second-in-command shared his history of playing golf

Long before Vance was chosen as Trump's running mate in the election back in November, Vance had a special place for golf in his heart.

In an email shared with Golf Digest, JD Vance also shared how he got into the game at first. He said:

"I was the only person of my background I knew who played golf, though I was introduced to the game in part from a great uncle who had achieved some level of material success himself before picking the game up."

He also talked about the friendships he made due to playing the sport. According to Vance, he is still close to some of his friends.

"I'm still close with many of the friends I made on the golf team... I loved it, still do, even though I don't play as much as I'd like. I got to play very cheaply with my buddies, and that’s all I really wanted.”

Even before he stepped into politics, Vance wrote a book titled 'Hillbilly Elegy: A Memoir of a Family and Culture in Crisis' in 2016. In that book, he shared that he once tried his hand at the varsity golf team.
