Wallaby nicknamed 'Holly Wallaby' keeps disturbing golfers on British golf course
A UK golf course has had an unusual visitor roaming the fairways in recent weeks - a wallaby.
Footage (click to play above), taken by a golfer, shows the moment when a wallaby made an appearance on the fairway during a game. The marsupial, native to Australia and New Guinea, was first sighted by staff at Oakmere Golf Club on July 29.
Wallaby ‘hasn’t booked a tee time’
Posting on Facebook after the wallaby was first spotted, the club said: "Missing wallaby spotted on Oakmere's 12th tee. Hadn’t booked a tee time."
Since then members have seen the wallaby a couple more times - and has been nicknamed ‘Holly Wallaby’ by locals. Daryl St John Jones, director of golf at Oakmere, said the animal usually makes an appearance in the evenings or early in the morning.
