South Carolina GOP hopeful Tim Swain is being mocked online after he excitedly tweeted that President Donald Trump had scored hole-in-one at a Florida golf course.
Trump reportedly scored the shot while playing a round of golf Saturday, just a week after his 14-year-old granddaughter won the women's championship at his West Palm Beach golf club last weekend.
Swain, candidate for South Carolina House of Representatives, tweeted the picture of Trump and a group of golf buddies.
'TRUMP JUST MADE A HOLE-IN-ONE!' was the simpering caption that Swain added to his post.
Prospective GOP lawmakers have been known to court the former president for his endorsement, with some querying whether Swain was telling lies to try and get in Trump's good books.
'Suuuure he did,' one Twitter user responded. 'You didn’t take the blindfolds off to see him tippy toe by you and drop the ball in?'

Compliments from GOP hopeful Tim Swain extended past the golf course and moved on to Trump's campaign that evening. 'Another great rally from President Trump tonight,' Swain said
Another user backed the cheating claims, tweeted: 'Trump has been known to pick up the ball and put it in the cup so…��♀️'
Another user joked in response, 'Earlier today I swam across Lake Erie!'
Some people also mentioned the infamous story of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, who claimed that he got a hole-in-one in all 18 holes on the course the first time he played a round of golf.
After Trump's supposed triumphant day of golf Saturday, Trump traveled to Georgia later for a rally ahead of the state’s May 24 primary.
Compliments from GOP hopeful Swain extended past the golf course and moved on to Trump's campaign that evening.
'Another great rally from President Trump tonight,' Swain tweeted Saturday after the rally. 'He looks and acts at least 20 years younger than Biden! I can’t wait til he’s back in the WH!!'
The former president received some praise for the achievement, including more from Swain. But not everyone on Twitter was buying it - and some accused him of cheating

Trump's granddaughter Kai, left, WINS the Women's Championship at his golf club: Don Jr. and Vanessa's 14-year-old daughter storms to victory in West Palm Beach
Kai defeated players with decades more experience than her, and can claim family bragging rights after her grandfather was put out in the quarter finals of the men's tournament
Trump's granddaughter Kai herself stormed through a field of players with decades more experience last weekend.
The Trump family has long suggested that Kai might be the best golfer out of all of them - and she proved it with what observers said was an impressive victory.
Don Jr's daughter announced her win with a modest Instagram post along with a photograph posing with her championship plaque alongside her grandfather and mother Vanessa.
'Over the weekend I won the Women’s Club Championship,' she posted.
Her proud father commented: 'Great work Kai.'
The Trump International Golf Club in West Palm beach is a 15-minute drive from Mar-a-Lago, the former president's winter headquarters.
He is on the course several times a week, often entertaining visiting politicians - last weekend in was Sen. Lindsey Graham - of business contacts.
But it was more of a family affair last weekend, when Melania was also spotted at the club making a rare appearance for dinner.

Kai's proud father Donald Trump Jr. commented: 'Great work Kai'
Kai is regularly seen at the West Palm Beach club - this time playing with her grandfather
Kai is the daughter of Don Jr. and Vanessa, who divorced in 2018.
And her win meant she won family bragging rights.
Her 74-year-old grandfather was knocked out in the quarter finals a week earlier.
But Kai's supremacy will come as no surprise to club members who have seen her in action and think she has the talent for a college scholarship, or to her proud father and uncle.
At the end of 2020, Don Jr posted a video of his daughter in action.
'Amazing swing Kai. Daddy daughter day on the golf course,' he wrote.
'Kai is really getting good... I think I got lucky that we were rained out after 6 holes.'
Saturday's rally where Trump reportedly made the hole-in-one comes as Trump and his two sons, Don Jr. and Eric, agreed to appear for a June deposition for a class-action lawsuit.
The family is accused of urging Celebrity Apprentice viewers to invest in a telecommunications company that was to their personal benefit, according to the Washington Examiner.
