MELBOURNE, Aug. 4 (UPI) -- An Australian pro golfer captured video of a kangaroo that either had a grudge to settle with a pair of flags or was simply trying to straighten them.

Daniel Popovic posted a video on Twitter showing a kangaroo at Heritage Golf & Country Club in Victoria appearing to attempt to straighten a flag on the putting green until the golfer yells at him.

"Hey! Get off the chipping green!" Popovic says in the video. "Get out of here, drunk!"

The kangaroo turns as if to leave, but he instead turns his attention to a nearby flag. The animal takes a more aggressive approach to the second flag, repeatedly smacking it and eventually trying to jump on it.

It was unclear whether the kangaroo was trying to damage the flags or merely trying to keep them straight in the wind.
