'Stampede' of kangaroos invades Melbourne golf course

A local golfer was left stunned after the mob of marsupials interrupted his game at the Heritage Golf & Country Club near Melbourne.

Stephen Roche, who filmed the video, described the incident as a "fair dinkum stampede" and can be heard warning the animals to "not stand on my golf ball".

This isn't the first time this has happened. The golf club was at the centre of a controversy in 2021 when it announced it would carry out a culling of kangaroos that went onto the golf course. After public outcry, the club later reversed the decision and erected fences instead.
