Forget the birdies, golfers find five baby BUNNIES have set up home in a bunker. A golfer was stunned yesterday after he spotted a rabbit warren containing five baby bunnies in a bunker.
Rod Baker, 63, was playing a round at his local club when his wife Sheila, 60, hit a shot near the bunker on the ninth hole.
Sheila and Rod, of Wadebridge, Cornwall, approached the obstacle and saw a large hole in the sand.
They peered inside and were shocked to see a group of five baby rabbits huddled up in a nest made of grass and fur.
Rod, who runs a business designing power boats, said the tiny animals were sleeping just four yards from the green.
He said: 'They must only have been a few days old. My wife hit a shot near the bunker and that's how we spotted it.
'It's not what you expect to see in the bunker of a golf course.
'The course is always in very good condition so when we saw the big hole we had to take a closer look. I couldn't believe it.
'The rabbits looked very vulnerable. It's a good job we didn't hit a shot into the bunker on this occasion.'
The ninth hole at the St Kew golf club near Wadebridge has been closed so the rabbits are not disturbed. ( dailymail.co.uk )
