Friendly deer at Michigan golf course turns putt into Disney princess moment

It was a Snow White moment.

You know, the one where the Disney princess is in the forest and a deer fawn adorably nuzzles her.

Oakland County real estate agent Katie Nolff was golfing Sunday with her fiancée, a PGA pro, at Indian Springs Metropark in White Lake when, in an 11-second video, a young buck sauntered onto the green and interrupted her putt.

She pauses, puts out her hand, which the deer sniffs, giggles and steps away. She says to the deer: “Your horns are a little nerve-racking.” And then she sinks ball in the hole.

Amid all this, an off camera voice says: “Make the putt!”

The video, which Nolff posted on Facebook with the comment “Secretly Snow White #wtfjusthappened #golf #nature ❤️ 🦌,” is now making its way around social media and on local and national news.

WXYZ-TV (Channel 7) broadcasters called it “an up-close encounter with a deer.”

Nolff, in another Facebook post of the the same video clip being aired on ESPN, added: “Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would ever make it on ESPN playing golf. ESPN! What in the world is happening 🤯 #ESPN @ESPN 🍌 @jaydudz_golf 📸”
