A jogger who came across a couple having sex in the middle of a golf course says she shared a photo of the brutal act because she feared they were cheating.
The pair were caught red-handed by the woman as the sun set on the sixteenth hole at Clarks Beach Golf Club, about an hour south of Auckland, on Monday.
“Hey, Romeo, Juliet, Monday at 7:15 p.m., really?” she captioned a photo of the raunchy performance on a local Facebook group.
The woman told local news channel The NZ Herald she decided to post the photo because “someone might be cheating on someone.”
“I grabbed my phone and took a quick video, probably a four second video, but by then they had stopped moving, I think they were aware of my presence,” she said.
“After my run, I saw a man and a woman playing golf in the distance, and they looked like they were in their 50s or 60s.
“So I felt like maybe it was them, but they didn’t make any eye contact with me.”
The photo showed a bag of clubs next to the couple lying on the ground, one with its bare backside out in the middle of the fairway.

New Zealand’s Clarks Beach course was given overnight infamy after the raunchy act
“I mean, I understand the passion, but couldn’t they have at least chosen a slightly more private spot? Maybe a bush or something,” the woman wrote in her post.
“I guess they were going for the ‘live-action nature documentary’ vibe.”
Social media users were quick to joke about the brutal act.
“It looks like a full moon that night,” someone joked.
“Nineteenth hole?” said another.
‘The best publicity the golf course has ever received. Everyone now knows there is a golf course at Clarks Beach,” said a third.
Clarks Beach Golf Club proved it had a sense of humor about the unfortunate incident in a post on its Facebook page.
‘After the dizzying heights of viral marketing that has certainly put our golf club on the map… it’s time to get started!’ it said.
‘Our General Meeting is next Saturday at 10am, make sure you’re there!’
