(CNN)President Donald Trump's golf scores have been hacked by someone apparently hoping to raise his handicap, the United States Golf Association confirmed to CNN Sports.

Four less-than-flattering scores of 101, 100, 108, 102 were uploaded to the Golf Handicap and Information Network (GHIN) Friday and have since been removed, as has Trump's lifetime best round of 68 reported last month.

"We have become aware of reports in the media questioning recent scores posted on President Trump's GHIN account," USGA spokeswoman Janeen Driscoll said in a statement.

"As we dug into the data it appears someone has erroneously posted a number of scores on behalf of the GHIN user. We are taking corrective action to remove the scores and partnering with our allied golf associations and their member clubs to determine the origin of the issue."

Supposedly Tiny has a handicap of 1.8 which puts him in the top 4% of golfers, but that doesn't take into account all of the balls hit into water, playing an 11 year old's ball on the green, etc. etc.

2. Not to nitpick, but the "11-year-old" was actually in his 20s.

It got revised in an edit.

The story's been corrected. The son was not 11. He was in his 20s.

Not as if that changes things that much.

[not fooled]

3. Meh
