SPRAGUE, Conn. — A bobcat that attacked a golfer in Connecticut was beaten off by golf clubs before environmental police tracked it down and killed it, authorities said. The bobcat attacked the golfer at about 8:30 a.m. Thursday on the Mohegan Sun Golf Course in the Baltic section of Sprague, according to a statement from the state Department of Energy and Environmental Protection. Krick and police said the man in his 60s and another golfer in his group used their clubs to beat the cat away. The bobcat is thought to be the same animal that attacked a horse stabled nearby earlier in the morning. The last report of a bobcat attack in the state was in Bozrah in August 2014.
