In recent months there have been so many reports of wild animals invading golf courses across the world that you’re more likely to see an actual Tiger rather than Tiger Woods on the fairways these days.
A three-legged alligator held up play at the Zurich Classic in New Orleans a couple of years ago, in November a herd of mongooses (mongeese?) halted play at the Nedbank Golf Challenge in South Africa, and at the Rio Olympics last August an eight-foot boa constrictor was spotted by one player.
Well now Australia’s most iconic animal has literally hopped on board the golf-bombing wildlife craze after a herd of the bouncy buggers briefly stopped play at the World Super 6 tournament in Perth.
As Italy’s Edoardo Molinari was lining up an approach at Lake Karrinyup Country Club, his pre-shot routine was interrupted by a mob of marsupials, who hopped across the fairway in front of him – then stopped to have a look.
Sure it might have been distracting – but with a huge pouch and a penchant for golf, surely kangaroos would make ideal (and cheap) caddies?
