Golfing in Estes Park, Colorado is already an adventure even when you're not shanking tee shots in the direction of nearby large bull elks. That's partly due to the antics of one of the bull elk named Smash.

He's been known to give chase after trucks and golf carts that get too close for comfort. If you hit a golf ball in his direction, like this woman unfortunately did, it's best to take whatever penalty may come and reach for another golf ball.

She took a quick look down the fairway, lined up her shot, then hit the ball right in Smash's direction. She reached for a new tee and had another ball tossed her way. Even with her golf club in hand, she wasn’t about to take her chances.

Playing it where it lies was off the table. Her second shot was a much better one, according to Good Bull Outdoors:

"Golfers trying to get back (unintentionally) at Smash for all his antics this year!" they wrote. "She had to abandon her original drive because it landed right next to Smash but her second shot looked good!"

The golfer had a good excuse for shanking her tee shot. A woman claiming to be the one who hit the ball toward the feisty elk bull responded with, "That was me! Lol I might have been a bit distracted everyone likes a nice rack."

It's hard to argue with that. Being distracted by a nice rack happens to the best of us. Good Bull Outdoors reiterated that she made up for the shanked shot when she had a chance to redeem herself.

They wrote in response, "Smash is definitely distracting. That follow up shot looked pretty good though!"
