Furthermore, it appears that President Joe Biden may have experienced the shallow feeling while playing a round of golf in the US Virgin Islands. While the State Secret Service searched for the ball, they left empty-handed. However, an 8-year-old has found the ball, with his parents planning to keep it as a memento.

Accompanying the present POTUS, the Secret Service agents, led by the commander-in-chief, got together to find the missing ball. They were pictured searching for it among the shrubbery, but to no avail.

The search operation made a buzz amongst netizens on social media. Many reacted to the news, with some responding hilariously to Biden’s lost ball. Here’s a selection of those tweets.

Biden’s lost ball found by 8-year-old

Long after Biden had left, an 8-year-old boy, without any help, was successful in discovering the missing golf ball. The DelGiacco family was planning to go to town to play some tennis, but upon hearing the President’s arrival, changed plans.

“We were going to town to play tennis and we heard the president was playing golf that day,” Ellie DelGiacco, an oncologist, said. Her son, 8-year-old Dominick, was keen-eyed on getting a sniff of the ball, eventually finding it out during his ride on a golf cart with his parents.

“So we took the golf cart and as we were driving we found a golf ball on the side of the road,” DelGiacco said. Her husband, Mike, further revealed that the ball was about 15 feet away from the course’s first hole.

Making the news of the discovery, the DelGiacco family was happy to have found the lost ball, offering to give it back to the President. However, they also planned to keep it as a memorable memento if otherwise.
