The boars had seemingly entered the golf course through a hole in the fence.
Speaking to MS News, Mr Chua — the OP who recorded the videos — said the boars entered the range at about 8.30pm on Thursday (20 Feb).
The 38-year-old IT consultant said he first spotted the pair near the right fence. Initially, he thought they were just mousedeer statues.

Golfers were stunned by the sudden appearance and started shouting and recording the unusual sight.
