In the minute-long clip, which has already gotten nearly 700,000 "likes," Felton said he is "on the road to recovery" following the "scary episode."

"People have been taking really good care of me, so thank you very much for anyone who has sent messages of 'get well soon' because I am on the mend, officially," he said before picking up a guitar and jokingly singing a song with the lyrics, "Don't you worry because Tom will be doing fine."

Felton collapsed, but remained conscious as he was taken off the course in a golf cart to receive medical attention.
