A South Georgia man out on a green at a local golf course had an unfriendly encounter with a giant swan.

John Walters was on the ninth hole getting ready to putt when the swan approached him and started jabbing ferociously at him, according to TMZ Sports.

In the video, Walters yells “Ow!” while he tries to run from the aggravated bird. The man’s friends laugh throughout.

Walters’ daughter told TMZ the swan is famous on the course and reportedly lives in a pond near the ninth hole.

The swan is known for being aggressively possessive of the area.
