This is the moment a playful leopard visited a golf course and leapt around like a kitten as it played with the equipment.
The stunning footage was captured by Jean Rossouw, club captain and greenkeeper at the Skukuza Golf Club in South Africa during his morning rounds, checking out the course.
The 30-year-old golfer said: 'As a greenkeeper, one of my duties is to drive the course early mornings to make sure it's safe and just to see what's going on on the golf course.
The leopard was spotted on the third tee of the Skukuza Golf Course which sits within the Kruger National Park
The leopard was spotting jumping across the tee box, delaying the first golfers from starting their early-morning round

'I came across her upon the second tee box. From there she walked quite gently towards the third tee box where she started playing like a house cat basically.'
The golf course sits within Kruger National Park and Africa's big five – lions, leopards, rhinos, elephants and buffalo – are no strangers to the facility
He said: 'I don't think we'll probably see that ever again. It's one of the few occasions where you'll see a leopard playing with tee box markers.
