Meet Jeff, the giant dinosaur on the course at the Australian PGA Championship.

The Australian PGA Championship begins tomorrow at the Palmer Coolum Resort in Queensland, where some of the best golfers in the world will have to navigate an unusual hazard — a 26-foot-tall mechanical T-Rex named Jeff.

According to the AP, Jeff the T-Rex is situated between the ninth green and tenth tee, and "flips its tail and opens its mouth to unleash a menacing roar when anyone approaches." Jeff will be powered down during the tournament.

Predictably, the Australian PGA is pissed off, and will be moving next year's tournament to a new course after 11 years at the Palmer Coolum Resort.

The owner of the course, billionaire Clive Palmer, wants to turn the resort into a theme park with more dinosaurs, and even a replica of the Titanic.

In sum: God creates dinosaurs. God destroys dinosaurs. God creates Australian John Hammond. Australian John Hammond destroys sanctity of golf.

The dinosaur will be a massive distraction for the entirety of the weekend, but Adam Scott and Greg Norman will cope with it, because golf, uh, finds a way.
