IT is not uncommon for animals to take a liking to a sport.

Viral videos exist of dogs surfing, pigs playing soccer and even the odd elephant throwing a dart or two. Generally, animals and sport find a harmonious partnership.

However when it comes to kangaroos and golf, the pairing is not quite so joyous.

One particular kangaroo took offence when a group of golfers infringed on his or her territory, which, apparently included a large section of a golf course.

So, the kangaroo acted accordingly.

It proceeded to chase the would-be golfers off the course, bounding behind them as they attempted to flee in their electric cart in one of the most intense scenes since Mick Middlemo walked off the course mid-round while caddying for Robert Allenby.

Warning: Video contains explicit language (obviously — they’re being chased by an angry kangaroo).

Needless to say, if a kangaroo decides you aren’t going to play golf in his backyard, it is advisable to respect the wishes of that kangaroo.
