Hopping kangaroos invade Australian golf course

Having fun playing golf and then a mob of kangaroos suddenly interrupts your round. Golfer Stephen Roche must have thought he’d gone hopping mad when he saw the stream of ‘roos approaching him.

Roche posted a video on X – formerly known as Twitter – Wednesday, in what he dubbed a “fair dinkum stampede” of the marsupials bounding along the course without a care in the world.

Roche explained in his post that the kangaroos were traversing the fourth hole on the St John’s course at the Heritage Golf and Country Club in Victoria, Australia. While their sighting at the private club was nothing new, the sheer number of them was very much a first, he added. 

While Roche and his playing partner stood by to let the stream of ‘roos hop on by, he could be heard imploring them to “not stand on my golf ball.”

As mentioned in an earlier blog post, it is March Sumo Basho in Osaka and I am enjoying it as often as I can. NHK, the great Japanese network broadcasts the highlights of each day, four times a day. And so if I fall asleep halfway through the thirty minute broadcast, I can set an alarm and watch the next one.

 The basho (tournament) lasts fifteen consecutive days, each rikishi fights a different opponent each of the fifteen days, the champion will be the rikishi with the most wins out of 15.
