Swedish golfer Joel Sjoholm had quite a day on Sunday at the European Tour's Hero Open, needing a quick boat trip away from the fairway to complete his final round.
Sjoholm's nautical adventure began on the par 5 No. 17 at Forest of Arden Marriott Hotel & Country Club. On his second shot approaching the green, Sjoholm's ball veered off course and landed on an island in the middle of a water hazard just off the green.
Thankfully, the course had prepared for such a contingency, as Sjoholm hopped aboard a waiting vessel and ferried himself over to his ball.
Once he'd arrived, Sjoholm had a bit of yard work to do, moving around signs to give himself a shot at his ball. Eventually, he was able to chip himself off of the island, pushing his ball a bit past the green but onto the relative safety of dry land.
All that was left was a journey back to the mainland to finish out the hole.
Sjoholm went on to save a bogey on the hole and finish the tournament tied for 22nd.
