Fox cubs' antics par for the course at golf club

A family of foxes is putting on a show for golfers at a Croydon golf club - and their amusing antics are proving to be a hit.

Two foxes and five cubs have set up home close to the clubhouse at Addington Court Golf Centre and are using the course as a playground.

Hogging the bonnets of the golf buggies for a spot of sunbathing and sneaking out of the bushes to steal players' balls is all par for the course at the club in Featherbed Lane, Croydon.



Like many other players at the club, General manager Glen Halsey has fallen foul of the foxes' penchant for pinching balls.

"I was enjoying a round with our food and beverage manager, Michael Matthews, and I had just landed a ball on the ninth green when one of the fox cubs legged over and ran off with it into the bushes," Glen said.

Michael went in pursuit of the ball and couldn't believe his eyes when he scrambled into the undergrowth. He said: "I went to fetch the ball and instead of just one I found 30 in the bushes."
