When you are on a golf course, there will come times when you must let faster players play through, pedestrians cross your path, or wait for the native wildlife to do their thing and clear the hole. Stephen Roche and his group were forced to do the last of those last week, but they captured an epic experience in the process. 

Roche transitioned from player to spectator for a few minutes when a large herd of kangaroos came hopping through his hole at the Heritage Golf & Country Club in Australia. It is quite a sight to behold, as easily more than a hundred kangaroos came down the fairway, through the bunker, and down past the green and on their way. I hope they at least has the courtesy to rake their footprints. A player behind Roche also captured a different angle of the stampede. 

Kangaroos might be new to most people, but there have been a handful of other instances where animals have made an appearance at primetime events. Enjoy a little laugh. 

Look out! Here comes a herd of RTO Insider news stories.

From everyone at RTO Insider, thanks for reading and enjoy the rest of your day!
