Gigantic snake slithers across South African golf course

There are many reasons you should take a golf club with you when you dive into the woods to search for your golf ball. 

But not sure there's a golf club big enough that would protect you if you came across this snake that we guess measures in at about 18 feet.

This video comes to us from Zimbali Country Club in South Africa. And if you're like us and not super fond of snakes, the moment at the 1:45 mark might make you shudder a little.
