A peaceful round of golf at Victoria's Heritage Golf and Country Club turned into an extraordinary event as golfers witnessed a 'stampede' of kangaroos hopping across the course. Stephen Roche, a golfer present at the scene, captured the moment on video and shared it on social media, which went viral quickly 

The Heritage Golf and Country Club, renowned for its scenic beauty and challenging courses, often hosts kangaroo sightings. However, the sheer number of kangaroos involved in this event was unprecedented, surprising even regular visitors like Roche.

She posted a video on her X with the captions, "We have kangaroos on our two courses at Heritage Golf & Country Club, but I've never seen this before."

As the kangaroos hopped across the course, Roche humorously pleaded with them not to disturb his golf ball. The video quickly went viral, with fellow golfer Michael McCarthy sharing footage from a different angle with captions, "Was this yesterday? If so, I was on the tee filming it from the other angle! Felt like it went forever."

Netizens react

Amidst the online discussion, one user inquired about a term for a large group of kangaroos, to which Roche humorously replied, "A mob."

Another user commented, "Somebody opened the Jumanji set."

The event, dubbed by some as a 'Kangaroo-calypso,' provided a unique and memorable experience for those present, unexpectedly blending nature and sport.
