Dodging moving obstacles on a golf course may be the norm for mini golf, but it’s rarely an issue on full-size golf courses. Unless, of course, the golf resort has a resident cat.
Professional golfer Hannah Gregg was practicing her putt in Europe when she received some helpful tips and training from an unexpected master. The golf course’s resident feline, a tiny orange tabby cat, was more than happy to help! He may have made her training more challenging than it needed to be, but he also made it so much cuter.
What a stinker! This curious orange cat was there to provide an assist when Hannah needed one, but this isn’t exactly a helpful exercise for a real golf tournament. Still, it’s certainly fun!
“The way he looked over to see if anyone was watching, then tapped it in for you,” had commenters like @perfectlygreengirly watching again and again. It was such a quick and subtle motion, which shows exactly how long this tiny cat has been up to his games.

The world’s smallest golf coach was digging for some kind of treasure in the hole before Hannah even shot the ball, which has me wondering what brought him there in the first place. Did the traveling golf balls look like mice to chase? Did he see an actual mouse on the field?
Animals on Golf Courses
Many golfers spot an animal or two while out on the course, though wild animals are even more common than cats and dogs, depending on the course’s location. At a golf resort in Canada, a coyote was seen stealing an entire bucket of golf balls!
This is a great reminder that we share our world with millions of animals, even if we don’t see them. Whether it’s a wild animal or a playful cat, it’s our responsibility to be caring and respectful, just like Hannah Gregg.
