A golfer has told of his shock after spotting a 3ft long poisonous SNAKE slithering across a UK course as he went to play a shot on the green. <br/><br/>Businessman Dan Owen, 58, had been enjoying nine holes in the sun after work when he came across the reptile at Belton Woods Golf Course, in Grantham, Lincs. <br/><br/>He said at first he thought it was a stick lying in the grass before he was given a fright when it started to move and made a beeline for the nearby woods. <br/><br/>Dan managed to grab his mobile phone to film the getaway on the seventh hole before the slippery customer disappeared into the undergrowth on Tuesday (25/6).<br/><br/>He reckons the creature may have been a black adder, which are rare in the UK, but can carry a venomous bite - in some cases inducing kidney failure.
