An amateur Australian golfer about to tee off at a golf course was stopped in her tracks by a pack of kangaroos.
Wendy Powick was about to tee off at the 11th hole of the Gold Coast’s Arundel Hills Country Club when the pack of marsupials started to gather in front of her.
Powick said she was standing at the 11th tee and the kangaroos suddenly appeared in front of her.
According to her , "There are a lot of them on this course. Usually they stick around and watch you play.But this was a very unusual occurrence."
After momentarily blocking Powick from hitting her drive, the roos began to make their way.
“I think they came up and then realised I was there and thought, ‘Oh, we better take off’,” Powick said.
Powick, who took up the sport a year ago, was circumspect about sharing the course with the Australian icon.
“They’ve got control of this course,” she said, adding that this was their home and the people had to work around them.
“We’re lucky in Australia. There’s a lot of courses around the world where you have to worry about bears.”
