A mother bear charged an employee of a golf driving range in Newton who inadvertently came between her and her two cubs while he was in a cart gathering up golf balls, police said yesterday.
The employee, Sean Oroho, 19, was not injured, police said. He was seated inside a small tractor cart, the kind that has an open-air mesh grate on the side and rear windows to protect the driver from flying golf balls as the vehicle is driven around the range to scoop them up.
