Friday Fun: Moose Chases Golfer All Over Golf Course!

30 JUN: Watch a moose on the loose give a Swedish golfer a run for his money (contains swearing in Swedish). An evening round was disturbed by an unusual hazard in the rough for two men at Karlstad Golf Club, in the form of a European elk. The young beast put one golfer to flight before heading off out of bounds. Forest-dwelling elks – Latin name alces alces – are the largest surviving species of deer. They are known as moose in North America, where elks are a different species of deer entirely. Video courtesy of Tony Swahn.
