If you look closely, golf is always more than just the game itself. While events are widely followed across the globe, some unique moments often stay with fans for a long time. Of course, this includes some hilarious (but mind-boggling) moments from the course. This also holds true for some unexpected appearances.

The most recent one, however, seems to have viewers anxious and worried all the same time. After all, you do not expect to see an animal walking on the course often. Even if you do, you don’t expect to see a bear walking toward you as you attempt to putt.

Did the golfer finish putting as the bear approached?

In a short clip shared, a bear approaches the golfer called Spencer as he readied to putt. Though the person off-camera warns him, he makes sure to complete the putt. Ultimately, the video cuts off with the player walking off swiftly after putting his shot. Understandably, everyone in the comments felt tense and amused at the video.

The venue was the Greywolf Golf Course in Panorama, Canada. As per the account, the bear ultimately wandered off and climbed a tree after they checked again. They apparently made a two-putt and were overall glad that they had carts. People seemed glad everyone got out okay, curious about how it ended with the bear, and also with the putt.

The course, reportedly, is one of the top 15 in Canada. The venue offers a fantastic mountain view, along with an amazing restaurant to enjoy. Additionally, located in an alpine setting, spotting a bear on the course is not a shocking thing.

Another such event was a group of kangaroos mobbing a golfer in Australia. This happened at the Arundel Hills Country Club, where the kangaroos got really close, preventing the player from actually playing the tee shot. “Talk about pressure off the tee,” Golf Australia wrote after Wendy Powick was unable to tee off.

Powick ended up taking things like a pro, smiling at the camera as they waited for the kangaroos to leave. Although it might all be fun in situations like these, approaching them should be avoided at all costs. It is better to halt the joy temporarily if the situation forces to, rather than end up in an unfavorable situation.
