Bear rudely interrupts a round of golf and robs the golfers

Apparently, bears love golf, too.

Golfer Gary Cox was getting in a little golf game at Moose Run Creek Course in Anchorage, Alaska, when he was rudely interrupted by a curious black bear.

First the bear approached the hole, clearly interested with the flag, but he scurried off after one of the golfers yelled "hey, hey, hey" at him.

Unfortunately, the bear then decided to head towards the golfers, and eventually raided the golfer's bag for some food.

According to the National Parks Service, if you do encounter a bear you should make yourself look as large as possible, and move away slowly and sideways. If at all possible, do not let the bear access your food, because it encourages the bear to repeat this behavior.
