In [this video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PtktsJix-HMr "undefined") making the rounds, a cat actively works to ruin the game for some people just trying to have a good time. It’s all the proof you need that even if you name your cat Bagger Vance, you still shouldn’t take him to the local putting green. While cats may love the sound of birdies and bogeys, as it turns out, our feline friends struggle to master their golf swing, occasionally mistake the sand trap for a litter box, or use a nine-iron when a wood club is called for. They are also really bad sports. If they can’t play the back nine, no one can. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3403707/cat-mini-golf-video/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3403707/cat-mini-golf-video/"},"headline":"Watch a Cat Ruin a Game of Mini Golf for Everyone","datePublished":"2014-09-19T18:49:47.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:13:20.482Z","description":"Seriously.
