This is the hilarious moment a goose attacked a golfer who was trying to retrieve his ball from its nest.

The mother goose had earlier found the ball and placed it in her nest, thinking it was an egg.

In the clip, which was filmed in Hot Springs, Arizona earlier this week, the golfer tries time and again to use his club to scrape the ball away from the protective Canada goose.

As he finally gets the ball out of the nest, another goose swoops in and attacks the man.

He falls to the ground, gets up and the goose attacks again.

Needless to say, his golf buddy, who is filming everything, almost collapses from laughter
