A golfer's round was interrupted by a mob of nosy kangaroos which swarmed the fairway just as she was about to tee off

• An inquisitive mob of kangaroos roo-dely interrupted an Australian golfer's round this past weekend.
• Golfer Wendy Powick was waiting to tee off when the kangaroos flooded across the fairway.
• After a few moments staring at Powick, they decided to hop on out of there, leaving her to golf in peace.

An Australian golfer's round was roo-dley interrupted when a mob of kangaroos came bouncing up to her as she was preparing to tee off.

Amateur golfer Wendy Powick was playing at the Arundel Hills Country Club near the Gold Coast when she spotted the crowd of kangaroos coming up the fairway.

The incident was caught on video and uploaded to Powick's Instagram. In the video, the roos can be seen jumping towards the tee box and lingering to stare at her for a while.

Powick could be heard joking that "they've come to watch me tee off."

She then asked: "What's going on?"

Soon afterwards, the kangaroos decided they'd seen enough and hopped out of the way, allowing Powick to get on with her round.

"I was standing at the 11th tee and all of a sudden, all of these kangaroos just came straight towards me," she told Australian news outlet 7News after the video went viral.

"There's a lot of them at this course. Usually they stick to the sides and watch you play, but this was very unusual occurrence."

According to National Geographic, Australia is home to 50 million kangaroos, double the size of the human population.

Golfers are usually only tasked with facing obstacles such as water traps and bunkers, but this isn't the first time kangaroos have made life on the Aussie links difficult.

In February, a man was forced to herd a mob of kangaroos off the fairway, while 300 Eastern Grey kangaroos are said to be in permanent residence at Anglesea Golf Course near Melbourne.
