Aus man finishes round of golf as clubhouse burns down

A man has been snapped finishing his round as a huge fire consumed a golf clubhouse behind him in Australia's Victoria.

The club's management told 9News the fire started in a storage room where electric buggies and batteries were kept.

The 180-square-metre Yarra Valley clubhouse was completely gutted by the blaze yesterday.

The building was successfully evacuated, with club staff and members forced to watch as their clubhouse was razed to the ground.

Except for one golfer, who played on. It's unclear if the pictured putter made his shot.

The destruction of the multi-million dollar property was helped along by 45km/h winds in the area.

9News reports 11 firetrucks responded alongside police, paramedics and other officials.
