Swedish golfers are being bitten by snakes.
Scandinavian sportsmen in Stockholm are being targeted by vipers as they search for lost balls in the rough or in bushes and the recent spell of hot weather is being blamed for the attacks.
Hanna Holmquist, spokeswoman for the Stockholm county health board, said: "It's probably because of the weather."
Calls about snake attacks to the health board are up 47 per cent compared to the same period last year and golfers are being warned to exercise caution when looking for their balls.
A Stockholm nurse said: "It's a good idea to stamp on the ground a bit more and look for the ball with the aid of the club rather than using your hands."

Golf, the so called sport that is the perfect thing to spoil a good walk. The vipers must know this and have now decided to liven up the tedious game a bit.
