“Daaaad! I don’t WANT to watch this stupid golf match!” Jimmy pouted.
Troy smiled. “Please give this tournament a chance.” Jimmy rolled his eyes, looking to the green.
The golfer was preparing to putt. He struck the ball, and the crowd murmured as the ball went off-course.
But then the left side of the green rose up, and a bizarre creature emerged! With five eyes and four arms, it gyrated and laughed goofily. The crowd gasped. “Into the hole, you go!” the creature demanded. The ball obeyed, dropping into the cup. Thunderous applause followed.
Jimmy grinned. “I want golf clubs!”

Editor's note: Incredibly, this situation is covered in the rules of golf. I suppose it must happen all the time:-
Rule 19 (1) b. If a player's ball in motion after a stroke on the putting green is deflected or stopped by, or comes to rest in or on, any moving or animate outside agency, except a worm, insect or the like, the stroke is cancelled. The ball must be replaced and replayed.
