An errant shot left one golfer with a tough decision recently while playing a round in the U.K. As he approached his ball he found it had settled among rocks and a long, curled-up snake!
Snakes can be threatening and scary animals, especially if they are confronted in unexpected circumstances, such as when you are trying to enjoy an average round of golf.
We don’t know what the golfer dared to do to get his ball back, according to Golf Obsession on Instagram, but it would take a very brave person to try and reclaim their ball from next to such a threatening animal.
Reactions from fans:
“I’m not losing a Titleist that I can see. Lol…Give it a little tap and he’ll be on his way to another sunny spot,” one fan said.
“15-foot ball retriever getting some work in,” one fan commented.
“Is that a rattlesnake protecting its egg? I’m taking a drop and losing that $3 ball,” another fan said.
“Just slither a little ssssstinger back into play,” another fan commented.
“Happily taking a drop and donating that ball to that snake,” one fan said.
