Watch a BEAR charge around on Canadian golf course as golfer in two minds over making himself big or running away

A GOLF player was left stunned after a BEAR charged around on a Canadian course.

Tim Jeves was on the 12th hole at Swaneset Bay Resort and Country Club in British Columbia when he was confronted by the black bear.

Amazingly, the bear the climbed a tree, allowing Jeves to record the bizarre incident.

He recounted to USA Today: “Do I make myself big and back away or do I run?

“I knew I’m supposed to do the former for a cougar but couldn’t remember whatever advice I’d been given for a frightened charging bear.

“Honestly, I didn’t have time to really think. I won’t say I ran, but I definitely didn’t back away slowly.

“I was moving quickly and loudly calling out ‘Hey bear! Hey bear!’ To try to scare or slow him.

“It didn’t. The one thing I did do, which I later thought was stupid, was drop my club.

“The one thing that might have slowed him if it had come at me.”

Jeves can count himself lucky it was just a bear, after golfers in Florida were last year left stunned when a huge alligator casually strolled across the course.

It was so big it soon became dubbed ‘Godzilla’ by social media users.

The incident happened at Valencia Golf and Country Club and surely can’t be far off the biggest ever Gator captured in Florida, which was an eyewatering 5.31 metres long.
