Wild video of a tornado briefly touching down at a Missouri golf course shows golfers scrambling on Michael Schmidtgolf carts, but not before one is captured on video giving one family member a quick shout out.

"It's coming right for us," a golfer yells as he runs out of camera sight with the twister spinning behind him in the distance at Payne's Valley Golf Course in Hollister.

The course is in Taney County in the southwestern portion of the state.

The National Weather Service (NWS) confirmed the tornado touched down near Branson about 4:30 p.m. Monday.

'We've got to take cover'

"Holy smokes," one golfer says. "Is it coming right at us?"

"Yeah," someone responds in the video.

"Should we go that way?" the person with the same voice asks.

"No, it's too late," the other person responds. "We got to take cover right in here."

"Hi, mom!" one golfer says in the video before someone snaps a photo of him, his hand appearing to wave at the camera.

The athlete then quickly runs out of the frame.
