Do you think you'd remain as calm as the guy in this story? A man in South Africa was playing 18 holes when a hyena started following him through the fairway. He captured the encounter on video and even joked "Got a new caddie on the golf course". The hyena eventually left him alone and he was able to finish his round without this wild animal in his backswing. Turns out these sort of encounters aren't rare in South Africa as some other players spotted lions hanging out near a green, eating a sprinkler. Golf is hard enough, no need to add hyenas to the mix.
