We’re sure the golf will be swell at this week’s Nedbank Challenge, what with the likes of Ian Poulter, Louis Oosthuizen, and Charl Schwartzel teeing it up in South Africa, but so far the stars of the show are a bunch of monkeys, a snake, and a mongoose.

On Tuesday, Poulter and a few of his long-tailed friends engaged in a bit of “monkey business”, which was just way adorable.
Not so delightful, but intriguing nevertheless, was this pas de deux between a snake and a mongoose that Nedbank competitor Andrew Coltart recorded and shared on Instagram:
We’re not sure who won that dance-off but it ought to give the golfers pause before searching for lost Pro V1s in the woods around the Gary Player Country Club.
The Nedbank Challenge provides unparalleled cornucopia of golf animals. This is where golf baboon chased Luke Donald back in 2014 — a first-ballot Hall of Famer in SB Nation’s golf animal bestiary.
So we’re likely just getting started in what could be another great week for the golf animal kingdom.
