Luke Donald Chased By Baboon While On The Course [VIDEO]

Generally, if asked, no one would say golf is a dangerous sport.

I disagree. Go ahead and call me crazy. But wait! I have evidence:  There are some crazy animals out there on the course, there's always the chance you could get hit by a golf ball, heck, you could even fall out of the golf cart! (Drinks could play a role in that danger.)

Luke Donald, in particular, had a dangerous experience while playing on the European tour.

Donald is playing in the Nedbank Golf Challenge, which is held at Gary Player CC in Sun City, South Africa.

Out of nowhere, a baboon just comes running up the fairway. You see Donald quickly jump out of the way.

I have no idea how I would react if this happened to me, but really could you imagine a baboon coming your way?
