Golf club employees in Southern California came to the rescue when a shark dropped out of the sky, onto the 12th tee.
San Juan Hills Golf Club operations director Melissa McCormack says a course marshal found the leopard shark on Monday afternoon and brought it to the clubhouse.
It had puncture wounds where it appeared a bird had snagged it from the Pacific Ocean, about five miles (8km) away.
They stuck the approximately 2-pound (1-kilogram) shark into fresh water before somebody remembered it came from the sea, so they got some sea salt from the kitchen and mixed it in.
Another employee rushed the shark to the ocean where McCormack says it was very still for a few seconds, before twisting around and speeding off.
