An amateur golfer was left speechless after a herd of kangaroos raced along the fairway on an Australian golf course.
Wendy Powick, who shared her surprise on social media, released a video of the occurrence with the caption, “Never seen this happen before when a whole mob of Kangaroos at @arundelhillscountryclub on the Gold Coast decided to charge up the fairway and stop right at the front of the Tee box to watch me… Absolutely gold and only in Australia…”
Powick is seen preparing to swing at the tee box in the video, which has gone viral on social media when she comes to a halt after witnessing a big herd of kangaroos hopping towards her.
The golfer jokingly said, “How’s this for golf today. They’ve all decided to settle in the middle of the fairway,” a man can be heard saying in the clip as Powick watches the group hop around. Amused by the incident, Powick then turns towards the camera to say, “They’ve come to watch me tee off.’
Many people, including Golf Australia, the sport’s regulatory body in Australia, retweeted the video. “Talk about pressure off the tee. A mob of very friendly kangaroos decided to get up close and personal at Arundel Hills Country Club during this tee shot!” they wrote on Twitter while having shared the clip, which received over 4 lakh views and prompted an onslaught of reactions among netizens.
