Golfers stop to watch elephants during DP World Tour event

The sight of elephants in the wild is always a truly amazing experience. Now imagine seeing them during a round of golf.

Last week’s Alfred Dunhill Championship was held at Leopard Creek Country Club which overlooks Kruger National Park. Occasionally, some of the wildlife are nearby and when one of the big five makes an appearance, it makes for a spectacular sight.

A herd of elephants arrived at the edge of the water separating the park from the golf course – and naturally, it brought the golf to a standstill.

If there ever was an excuse for slow play, this might be it.
