Earlier this week, Powick was lining up for a tee shot on the 11th hole at Australia’s Arundel Hills Country Club when more than a dozen kangaroos unexpectedly gave her the Brooksie treatment.

Confused and amused, Powick jokingly responded, "They’ve come to watch me tee off."

A few seconds later, a rather large kangaroo sprang towards Powick and briefly mugged for the camera before hopping away, prompting the golfer to rhetorically ask, "What’s going on?"
